What is specific to Japanese companies
Japanese judgments need a fresh suit in India; JCAA or Singapore arbitration awards are enforceable.
Anti-corruption and compliance programmes
Japan's Unfair Competition Prevention Act criminalises bribery of foreign officials, and listed groups extend internal control frameworks to India.
India's Prevention of Corruption Act includes corporate liability for persons acting on the company's behalf.

Questions
What happens to a Japanese court judgment in India?
Japan 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 Japanese rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. Japanese law points should be confirmed with a Japanese adviser.
