Evidence by design
Regulatory Readiness & Incentives
Operational records relevant to regulatory requirements, alongside selected schemes and incentives that may support wider manufacturing investment.
Four obligations
Four obligations this page covers, and where the records live.
The Four Labour Codes
Wages, industrial relations, occupational safety and social security, consolidated into four codes.
The information on this page is correct as of 5 August 2026, the date it was last reviewed, and is provided for general awareness only—it does not constitute legal, tax or financial advice. Scheme terms, deadlines and eligibility criteria change and should be independently verified with the relevant government department or a qualified advisor before you rely on them. Optimo360 and CoReCo Technologies make no representation that use of the platform satisfies any legal or regulatory obligation described here.
The operating context
Obligations become manageable when the records are part of daily work.
People & payroll
The Four Labour Codes
The Government of India has enacted four labour codes that consolidate 29 central labour laws. They cover wages, industrial relations, occupational safety and social security, with detailed rules and effective dates notified separately.
Why it matters: wages, overtime, gratuity, social-security contributions, registration, licensing and record-keeping.
Relevant modules: Human Resource Management System and Payroll Management.
Personal data
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
India’s data-protection law covers the collection, storage and processing of personal data, including employee data such as biometric attendance and HR records.
Why it matters: manufacturers hold employee, visitor and site data through everyday systems.
Relevant module: Human Resource Management System.
Automotive quality
IATF 16949 and AIAG Core Tools
IATF 16949 is the automotive-sector quality-management standard used by OEMs to qualify suppliers. AIAG Core Tools include APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plan, MSA and SPC.
Why it matters: customer-specific requirements require these methodologies to be followed and evidenced for audits.
Relevant modules: APQP, PPAP, Inspection, Calibration and Audit Management.
Plastic packaging
EPR plastic traceability
Extended Producer Responsibility rules set recycled-content targets for plastic packaging in India.
Why it matters: the rules are relevant to polymer manufacturers’ packaging and export obligations.
Relevant module: Traceability & Inventory Management.
Investment incentives
Schemes and incentives may support wider investment.
Some Indian government programmes support MSME certification, digitisation and capital investment. MCGS-MSME supports collateral-free loans for plant and machinery investment. A previous ZED subsidy window offered certification support but closed on 31 March 2026.
These are hardware and capital-investment schemes. Optimo360 itself is not scheme-eligible, and current terms should always be checked with the relevant department.
