Regulatory Requirements

Starting a Business
Regulatory Requirements
Once an entrepreneur has taken all the important decisions relating to starting a business, he/she has to take into account the basic regulatory requirements which are to be followed for setting up the organisation. The most important regulation is the Companies Act,1956, which regulates all the affairs of a company. It contains provisions relating to the formation of a company, powers and responsibilities of the directors and managers, raising of capital, holding company meetings, maintenance and audit of company accounts, powers of inspection and investigation of company affairs, reconstruction and amalgamation of a company and even winding up of a company. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, earlier known as Department of Corporate Affairs under Ministry of Finance, is primarily concerned with administration of this Act as well as other allied Acts and rules & regulations framed there-under.
The next important regulation relates to environment. The environmental regulatory requirements envisage a wide legislative framework covering every aspect of environment protection like air, water, noise, forest conservation, wildlife protection, etc. Also, separate set of laws and rules for emission of hazardous wastes have been enacted. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), is the nodal agency for regulating all such environmental aspects. It undertakes conservation & survey of flora, fauna, forests and wildlife; prevention & control of pollution; afforestation & regeneration of degraded areas. Every industry has to abide by all such guidelines and parameters for environmental protection because only this will ensure its sustainable progress and growth.
