About Establishment Registration

Shop and Establishment Registration is a mandatory registration under the respective state's Shop and Establishment Act. It applies to all commercial establishments including shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, theaters, and other places of business. The registration certifies that your business complies with local labour laws regarding working hours, holidays, wages, and employment conditions. It is often the first registration required to start operations and is essential for opening a bank account, obtaining GST, and other licenses.

Process: We begin by collecting your business details, address proof, identity of proprietor/partners, and employee information. Our experts prepare the application as per your state's specific format and file it with the Chief Inspector of Shops and Establishments. We coordinate with the department, handle any queries, and obtain the registration certificate. The certificate is usually valid for 1‑5 years and must be renewed periodically.
