Mandatory state-level registration for all shops, commercial establishments, and businesses operating in a state.
Shop and Establishment registration is governed by the respective State Shop and Establishment Act. It is mandatory for all shops, commercial establishments, hotels, restaurants, theatres, and other business premises operating within a state. The registration ensures regulation of working hours, holidays, overtime, leave policies, and employment of children. The Shops and Establishments Registration Certificate serves as a primary business proof for opening bank accounts and obtaining other licenses.
