What is Shops and Establishment Registration?

Shops and Establishment Registration is a state-level registration for businesses that run a shop, an office or any commercial place. It is also called Shop Act Licence. It is given by the Labour Department of the state government under the Shops and Establishments Act of that state.

This law protects the rights of workers and sets simple rules for working hours, weekly holidays, wages, leave and safe working conditions. When you register, your business is recorded with the state government as a legal commercial unit.

CA Arpit Gupta helps shop owners, companies, firms, restaurants, clinics and offices get the Shop Act registration and renew it on time.
