What is specific to Russian companies
Russian judgments need a fresh suit in India, and Russian sanctions-related jurisdiction rules affect the choice of seat.
Anti-corruption and compliance programmes
Indian banks apply enhanced due diligence and sanctions screening to Russian-linked payments, so choose remitting banks the Indian bank accepts.
India's Prevention of Corruption Act includes corporate liability for persons acting on the company's behalf.

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