Compliance in India is two layers of obligation, addressed as one
By compliance domain
Eight domains that apply regardless of what you do
These are the obligations attached to being an employer, an occupier, a taxpayer, a data fiduciary and a company. A software firm and a steel plant meet most of the same ones.

Twelve sectors, each with its own layer on top
Sectoral licensing, product rules and regulator-specific frameworks stack on the horizontal domains. These pages set out what your sector adds and where our coverage is deepest.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Every plant is its own compliance jurisdiction
A manufacturer with plants in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu operates under one Companies Act, three state factory regimes, three pollution control boards, three labour departments and a growing stack of Quality Control Orders. Regulens holds all of it as one register, scoped per plant.
- manufacturing obligations across states
- 9,400+manufacturing obligations across states
- Quality Control Orders tracked
- 180+Quality Control Orders tracked
Pharma & Life Sciences
Schedule M, CDSCO and every export market at once
Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers carry CDSCO and state drug controller obligations, revised Schedule M good manufacturing practice standards, environmental and hazardous waste duties, and the requirements of every regulator they export to. The domestic layer alone is substantial before US FDA or EU GMP is considered.
- pharma and device obligations
- 3,900+pharma and device obligations
- Schedule M gap tracking

IT, ITeS & Global Capability Centres
DPDP, CERT-In and state labour law for a distributed workforce
Technology services firms and global capability centres assumed compliance meant client contracts and SEZ conditions. DPDP, CERT-In directions and state-level labour obligations across every delivery centre have made it a much broader problem, and one that engineering has to participate in.

Banking & Financial Services
RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and everything that applies to any company
Financial services carries the deepest sectoral obligation set in India — RBI master directions, SEBI regulations, IRDAI rules, PMLA and FEMA. It also carries every obligation that applies to any company: Companies Act, labour codes, DPDP, GST. Most BFSI compliance functions are strong on the first and thin on the second.

Energy, Power & Utilities
Central regulator, state commission, and a carbon market arriving
Generators, transmission and distribution licensees and large industrial consumers sit under CERC and their state electricity regulatory commission simultaneously, with renewable purchase obligations that differ by state and a compliance carbon market beginning its first cycle.
- energy sector obligations
- 3,100+energy sector obligations
- state commissions tracked for RPO and tariff
- 28state commissions tracked for RPO and tariff
Automotive & Mobility
Homologation, CAFE, scrappage and a deep supplier chain
Vehicle and component manufacturers manage type approval and conformity of production, tightening emission and efficiency norms, recall obligations, and a supplier base that must itself meet BIS and quality standards. Product compliance and plant compliance are equally demanding.
- automotive obligations
- 3,400+automotive obligations
- homologation obligation tracking
- Per-varianthomologation obligation tracking
Chemicals & Petrochemicals
MSIHC, PESO and the highest personal liability exposure in Indian industry
Chemical manufacturers operate under hazardous process rules, major accident hazard obligations, explosives and petroleum licensing, and effluent standards enforced tightly on clusters. The criminal liability attaching to the occupier is the most severe in Indian manufacturing.

- 5+licensing authorities per site
FMCG, Retail & E-commerce
Labelling, EPR and dark patterns, per state and per SKU

- licence and renewal tracking
- Per-outletlicence and renewal tracking
Healthcare & Hospitals
Clinical registration, biomedical waste, AERB and patient data

By role
Seven people, seven versions of the same register
The company secretary needs a defensible certificate. The plant head needs his licence conditions. The CISO needs six hours. Same platform, different surface.
Company Secretary & Compliance
Defensible evidence behind the certificate you sign
You sign the compliance certificate the board relies on for its Section 134(5) statement. Regulens gives you a register you can actually stand behind — scoped, owned, evidenced and reconciled to source.
What you get on day oneChief Financial Officer
Quantify the exposure you are certifying
You carry tax, GST and financial reporting obligations across every registration, and you sign off on internal financial controls. Regulens makes the compliance exposure a number rather than a narrative.
What you get on day oneCHRO & HR Operations
One HR policy, thirty-six statutory regimes
The Labour Codes did not remove the state layer. You run one employment policy against thirty-six sets of state rules, and the registers, returns and thresholds genuinely differ.
What you get on day oneEHS & Plant Head
Your licence conditions are your obligations
The binding requirements at your site are as much in your consent order and factory licence as in any statute. Regulens extracts those conditions and treats them as tracked obligations with owners and evidence.
What you get on day oneCISO & Data Protection Officer
Six hours, no materiality threshold, three overlapping frameworks
CERT-In gives you six hours. DPDP gives you no breach materiality threshold. Your sectoral regulator adds a third set of obligations. Regulens maps all three into one incident and control model.
What you get on day oneInternal Audit & Risk
Plan on exposure, test on evidence
Audit plans built on last year plus intuition miss where exposure has moved. Regulens gives audit an independent, evidenced view of coverage, extending to population-level testing against ERP and HRMS data as Compliance Audit rolls out.
What you get on day oneGeneral Counsel
Interpretation captured, not lost in an email thread
Legal carries the interpretation burden across Central law, state variants and regional officer positions. Regulens makes those interpretations a durable, searchable asset attached to the obligation itself.
What you get on day oneBy outcome
Or start from the thing you are trying to fix
Regulatory change management
Run the full lifecycle from gazette notification to implemented control as one instrumented pipeline — detection, scoping, assessment, action, evidence — with SLAs and ownership at every stage.
- Central, state and municipal sources monitored together
- Automated impact propagation across entities, plants and functions
- Handoff to delivery tooling with traceability preserved
- Complete, immutable audit trail of every decision
Multi-state and multi-site compliance
The defining Indian problem: one Central rule, thirty-six state variants, and municipal rules underneath. Each site gets exactly the obligations that apply to it, with the state delta made explicit.
- All 28 states and 8 union territories maintained separately
- Municipal bye-laws and trade licence obligations included
- Per-site scoping by state, category, capacity and process
- State delta shown against the Central position
Licence and consent management
Build the complete licence inventory most organisations discover they have never had, extract the conditions written into each one, and manage renewals against real application lead times.
- Every licence, consent and registration per site
- Conditions extracted and tracked as obligations
- Renewal alerting based on lead time, not expiry date
- Named holder and personal exposure recorded
Director and officer liability
A large share of Indian compliance obligations carry imprisonment exposure for named individuals. Make that exposure visible to the people who carry it, and evidence the systems that mitigate it.
- 26,000+ clauses with imprisonment exposure identified
- Named occupier, officer-in-default and KMP mapping
- Evidence supporting the Section 134(5) assertion
- Time-stamped record of detection, assignment and closure
