Founder FAQs
Key Questions for Rajkot's Manufacturers
Get clear answers to common legal questions for engineering and manufacturing businesses in Rajkot.
What is the difference between a Factory License and a GIDC allotment?
A GIDC allotment is the process of acquiring industrial land from the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation. It gives you the right to the plot. A Factory License, issued under the Factories Act, is a license to carry out manufacturing activities on that plot. It is concerned with the health, safety, and welfare of workers. You need both to legally operate a factory in a GIDC estate.
As a small-scale auto component maker, can I still benefit from export schemes?
Absolutely. Many export promotion schemes are designed to benefit MSMEs. For example, the EPCG scheme allows you to import machinery for production at zero customs duty, provided you meet a certain export obligation. Similarly, the Duty Drawback scheme refunds duties paid on inputs used in the production of exported goods. We can assess your business and help you leverage the most suitable schemes.
What is the most important contract I need when supplying to a large automotive OEM?
The most critical contract is the Master Supply Agreement (MSA). This document governs the entire relationship and outlines terms for quality standards, delivery schedules, pricing, payment terms, intellectual property rights for any co-developed parts, liability, and dispute resolution. A well-drafted MSA is crucial to protect your interests when dealing with large, powerful buyers. We specialize in drafting and negotiating these agreements for auto ancillary units.
