Key Compliance Areas

- Software Technology Parks (STP) scheme — alternative to SEZ for smaller operations
- Data protection and privacy — India DPDP Act requirements
- Export documentation — FIRC, BRC and GST LUT for zero-rated exports
- Intellectual property protection — trademark, copyright and patent registration
