Statuatory compliance consulting
Navigating the complex landscape of regulatory requirements can be challenging for warehouse operators. At ARS Warehousing, we offer our expert services to help clients ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards.
Understanding Warehouse Compliance in INDIA
Statutory compliance refers to the adherence to laws and regulations set forth by the government. In India, businesses must comply with numerous statutes, including labor laws, tax regulations, and industry-specific guidelines. Non-compliance can lead to legal penalties, financial losses, and reputational damage.
Why You Need these Compliances?
This is not just a legal necessity—it directly impacts a company’s reputation, financial stability, and operational efficiency. Here’s why businesses in the warehousing and logistics sector should prioritize compliance:
- Avoid Legal Penalties: Non-compliance can lead to fines, legal action, or business shutdowns.
- Enhance Business Credibility: Compliance ensures trust among customers, investors, and business partners.
- Facilitate Seamless Operations: Proper compliance prevents disruptions in supply chain management.
- Ensure Workforce Safety & Welfare: Adherence to labor laws helps in maintaining a safe and ethical work environment.
Key Compliances Required in Warehousing and Logistics
Labor Laws
Ensuring compliance with acts such as the Factories Act, 1948, which governs the health, safety, and welfare of workers in factories. This includes maintaining statutory registers, records, and timely submission of returns.
Taxation
Adherence to Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations is crucial, as transportation of goods is subject to GST. Generating e-way bills for consignments exceeding ₹50,000 is mandatory. Additionally, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) deductions on payments to contractors and timely income tax filings are essential.
Environmental Clearances
Obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from State Pollution Control Boards ensures that warehousing operations do not harm the environment. Compliance with environmental standards is vital for sustainable operations.
NHAI Compliance (National Highways Authority of India)
Warehouses and logistics hubs located along national highways must comply with NHAI regulations. This includes: Obtaining land use approvals for warehouses near highways. Ensuring proper access control and connectivity to avoid traffic congestion. Compliance with NHAI toll regulations for freight movement. Adherence to road safety measures for vehicles operating in and around warehouse zones.
Safety Standards
Implementing fire safety protocols, such as installing fire extinguishers and ensuring emergency exits, is mandatory. Warehouses must also adhere to occupational health and safety guidelines to protect workers and assets.
Warehousing Standards
Adhering to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms ensures that warehouses meet scientific storage methods designed to reduce storage losses and improve efficiency. Compliance with BIS standards also helps gain credibility among domestic and international investors.
