As E-commerce ventures attempt to establish, grow and scale-up their operations they require industry specific legal/procedural knowledge to ensure compliance thereby maintaining trust and confidence of their investors and shareholders. Regulators and enforcement agencies have enhanced their monitoring and scrutiny and instances of non-compliance have often impacted both reputation and market valuation of companies in the past. There are hundreds of laws around compliances across industries in India and it is difficult to get all the laws with relevant details in one place. In this module, compliance requirements for more than 500 laws along with more than 1000 forms have been provided. Legal counsels and advisors today are under tremendous pressure to keep pace with the rapidly evolvinglegislation and compliance needs.
