I’m also looking for this information; basically Indian Retail laws-how customers are protected and how stores are protected. Thanks in advance!


Hi all,

All customers under the Indian Consumer Protection Act are protected. Major company laws would be applicable to the retail industry as well. Additionally, IPR laws would apply if the retail group is planning to launch any product under their own personal brand.

Thank you,

For customer's protection, definitely the Consumer Protection Act is the guiding force. However, there are other laws too, like the "Distance Selling Directive," if the company engages in web/catalog/tele sales. For security, apart from patent/trademark/copyright acts, there are three main standards: ISO 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), ISO 28001 (Supply Chain Management), and CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism). Out of these, ISO 27001 is very comprehensive; for example, background checks and workplace surveillance are just two of the 127 controls specified.

Re: Legal Compliances for Retail Industry

Hi there, there are different kinds of licenses/permissions/NOC's from various authorities that are required to be procured at the time of opening or during the operation of a retail store. You need to specify the kind of products you would be dealing with, and there are monthly/half-yearly/yearly compliances that you need to look into. We handle licenses/statutory compliances for the world's largest retail chain of stores in northern India while being based in Gurgaon. Feel free to contact us at 09212220044 for any clarification. - Rajesh Gupta
