What is specific to Chinese companies
Mainland Chinese judgments need a fresh suit in India; awards from China, Hong Kong and Macao are enforceable under India's 2012 notification.
Anti-corruption and compliance programmes
Indian authorities scrutinise Chinese-linked companies closely; past FEMA, tax and company-law compliance should be clean before any new filing.
India's Prevention of Corruption Act includes corporate liability for persons acting on the company's behalf.

Questions
What happens to a Chinese court judgment in India?
China is not on India's reciprocating-territory list, so its court decrees cannot be executed in India as they stand; the winning party has to sue again in India on the foreign judgment.
General information as at 5 November 2026, not advice for a particular case. Indian and Chinese rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. Chinese law points should be confirmed with a Chinese adviser.
