Our Shop & Establishment Services
Shop and Establishment Act registration and compliance services for businesses across all states — from new licenses to renewals, amendments, and labour law compliance.
New Registration
Every establishment — including shops, commercial establishments, hotels, restaurants, and offices — must register under the applicable State Shops and Establishments Act within 30 days of commencement. We prepare and submit the registration application to the local Labour Inspector with all required documents and obtain the Registration Certificate.

License Renewal
Shop and Establishment licenses must be renewed annually or biennially depending on the state. We track renewal dates, initiate the renewal process in advance, pay applicable fees, and obtain the renewed certificate. Timely renewal avoids penalties and ensures uninterrupted business operations.

Amendment / Modification
Changes in business name, ownership, address, category of business, or number of employees require an amendment to the Shop and Establishment registration. We prepare the amendment application, pay applicable fees, and obtain the amended certificate. We advise on whether a fresh registration is required in case of significant changes.

When a business closes down or relocates, the Shop and Establishment registration must be formally cancelled to avoid ongoing compliance obligations and potential penalties.
