The working documents
No form wall on any of these. If a document is useful to you and you never speak to us, that is a fine outcome.
The Multi-State Compliance Handbook
What actually differs between states across labour, EHS, licensing and municipal obligations — with comparison tables for the twelve most industrialised states and a method for maintaining state variants without maintaining thirty-six registers.
Obligation Decomposition for Indian Statutes
Our working method for turning an Act, its Rules, the state amendment and the notifications into atomic obligations — including the form problem, state variant forking and threshold handling.
Building the Licence and Consent Register
A step-by-step method for the physical licence audit, extracting conditions from consent orders, calibrating renewal lead times per authority, and maintaining the named-role register.
Personal Liability of Directors and Officers
Where Indian statutes attach criminal liability to named individuals, how the due diligence defence works in practice, and what evidence supports it — with a mapping of the principal offences by role.
DPDP Act Readiness: A Practical Guide
Data inventory, the retrospective notice programme, breach intimation without a materiality threshold, Significant Data Fiduciary assessment, and how DPDP and CERT-In obligations differ.
Labour Codes: State Rules Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of notified state rules under the four Codes across registers, returns, thresholds and inspection schemes, updated as further states notify.
Section 134(5) Compliance Evidence Template
A structured template supporting the directors’ responsibility statement — applicable law register, ownership, monitoring, exception reporting and board escalation.
EPR Liability Forecasting Model
A working model for computing plastic packaging EPR shortfall exposure monthly using the published CPCB formula, by category, so the number is forecast rather than discovered.
Income-tax Act 2025 Transition Checklist
Where 1961 Act citations are buried — SOPs, contracts, ERP configuration, board templates — and a systematic method for the sweep, including handling one-to-many mappings.
India Compliance Benchmark 2026
Survey of 268 Indian compliance functions on obligation volumes, effort, headcount, tooling and cost — with medians by sector, state count and turnover band.
Inspection Readiness: What Evidence Actually Looks Like
What factory, pollution control, GST and labour inspectors actually ask for, what a defensible evidence chain contains, and the four artefacts that most often fail.
Evaluating AI Claims in Compliance Technology
A vendor-neutral evaluation framework: what to ask, what to test live in a demonstration, and the state-coverage question that distinguishes a claim from a capability.
ROI & benchmarks
Where the 324 hours a month actually go
Median figures from our 2026 benchmark of 268 Indian compliance functions, for a mid-size group operating across six states. Your numbers will differ — the point is that the effort is not where most people assume.
| Notifications and circulars reaching the team | 340 / month | Central plus six states, across all domains |
| Manual triage | 28 hrs / month | At 5 minutes per item |
| Applicability scoping across sites | 68 hrs / month | 90 items assessed against 11 sites |
| Obligation decomposition | 96 hrs / month | 24 applicable items at 4 hours each |
| Impact assessment and routing | 132 hrs / month | 24 items across sites and functions |
| Total | 324 hrs / month | Roughly 2 FTE before any remediation work |
A publication feed reduces the first row only, which is about 8% of the total. That is why teams with a horizon scanning subscription so often report that nothing actually got easier. The full benchmark, with medians by sector and organisation size, is in the Regulatory Change Benchmark 2026.
