Regulatory & Compliance Navigation

“For Global Firms Facing India’s Regulatory Bottlenecks”

“Every investment decision in India gets challenged by regulation: customs, tax, labor, approvals. RSC removes those roadblocks — within a 60-day sprint, with an option to stay on and execute the compliance framework afterwards.”

Top Challenges in Indian Regulation & Compliance (from Actual Cases / Recent Trends)

Fragmented labor law reforms (new labor codes still being unevenly implemented across states) causing inconsistencies in wage definitions, social security, bonus/contract obligations.
Shifting “change in law” interpretations: Supreme Court rulings making official gazetted laws mandatory, meaning firms cannot rely on policy announcements, press notes, or administrative signals.
Complex FDI / FEMA / foreign exchange rules and reporting requirements — foreign investments, pricing of foreign direct investment, or failure to report in time can trigger investigations and financial penalties.
Data protection & privacy uncertainty: As India develops stronger digital/data privacy laws, many firms are unsure which rules apply, when, and how to align with international norms.
Regulatory overload and micro-compliance burdens: Businesses (especially manufacturing/Supply chain) face hundreds of small regulations (license renewals, safety norms, standard-marks, environmental etc.), many of which carry severe penalties if missed.

What Happens Without Clarity in Compliance Navigation

Cost overruns and delays due to last-minute regulatory approvals or rejection
Exposure to unexpected fines, retrospective liabilities, or disputes with government bodies
Operational disruptions (factory shutdowns, import/export blockages)
Reputational risk with customers, partners, and regulators

RSC’s 60-Day Compliance Readiness Sprint

“A sprint to remove regulatory uncertainty and establish compliance as a foundation.”

Phase	What We Do
Diagnostic Audit (Weeks 1-2)	Deep dive on your industry, state(s) of operation, tax & foreign investment obligations, labor code exposure, data/privacy obligations, and approval/licensing requirements.
Gap-Mapping & Risk Prioritization (Weeks 3-4)	Identify which compliance risks are material (immediate) vs future; assign severity; create a framework for addressing them in the right order.
Roadmap Development (Week 5)	Deliver an actionable compliance roadmap: what must be done, by when, who owns it, and estimated costs. Covers FDI/FEMA, permitting, labor, tax, privacy, etc.
Execution Blueprint & Optional Embed (Week 6)	Equip your team with implementation tools: template documents, compliance dashboards, milestone tracking. Optionally, RSC embeds for execution & monitoring.

Why RSC Stands Apart in India for Regulation & Compliance services for International clients

Criteria	Large Global Consultancies	Local / Boutique Advisors	RSC
Focus	High-level strategy; often generic across sectors	Tends towards narrow scopes (one state, or tax only)	End-to-end regulatory readiness specific to your sector, geographies, and risk profile
Speed to Result	Many months (6-18 months) before full clarity	Faster but often partial solutions	60-day sprint for regulatory clarity; immediate roadmap; optional execution
Depth of Local Insight	Relies on local partners; slower to adapt to state nuances	Good understanding of one region; less cross-jurisdictional coordination	Strong state-by-state regulatory intelligence + central government policy lens
Risk Coverage	Covers major regulations, but residual risk often high	Some compliance areas overlooked	Balanced: actionable for CXOs, VPs, EVPs
Cost & Agility	Premium & rigid	Limited resourcing	Proactive coverage: labor codes, data/privacy, FDI, labor licensing, retrospective law changes, etc.
