Legal Jurisdictions

You need to define the legal jurisdiction for India.

A legal jurisdiction is a physical territory (a group of countries, country, state, county, parish, and so on), which comes in the purview of a legal authority within a specific type of legislation (French Labor Law, Irish Social Welfare Laws, Indian Income Tax).

An example of a legal jurisdiction in India is Company Law.

Note: India Company Law and India Income Tax are the predefined Legal Jurisdictions available for India.
