Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

E-commerce & Retail Industry
1. What legal documents are essential for starting an online e-commerce business in India?
To start an online e-commerce business in India, you typically need GST registration, a Shop and Establishment license (if applicable), and a registered business entity (like a private limited company or LLP). Additionally, you'll need a comprehensive privacy policy, terms of service, and a shipping policy. Our E-commerce legal services cover all these requirements.
2. Do I need a specific license to sell products on social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook?
While there isn't a specific "social commerce license," you must comply with all standard e-commerce regulations, including GST registration, consumer protection laws, and the platform's own terms of service. Our Social Commerce Platform Legal Setup service ensures you meet all these obligations.
3. What is the importance of a well-drafted influencer marketing contract?
A clear contract is crucial for protecting your brand. It should define deliverables, payment terms, content ownership (IP rights), and disclosure requirements (e.g., #ad) to comply with ASCI guidelines. Our Influencer Marketing Contract Management service helps you create robust and compliant agreements.
4. Are there any specific regulations for D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) brands in India?
D2C brands must comply with a range of laws, including the Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules for labeling, and data protection laws. We provide specialized D2C compliance services to ensure you navigate these regulations successfully.
5. What are the key legal considerations for cross-border e-commerce from India?
For cross-border e-commerce, you need an Import-Export Code (IEC), and you must comply with FEMA and RBI regulations for receiving foreign payments. You also need to manage customs duties and international shipping agreements. Our expertise in cross-border e-commerce regulations simplifies this process for you.
