Registration under the Shop and Establishment Act is mandatory for most businesses. Since this is the first step towards the promising business world.

Shop and Establishment Act is under state legislation, and each state has framed its own rules and regulations for the same. Since the state government frames rules, obviously, rules will differ from state to state. Hence rules for the state in which registration is to be obtained need to be followed.

Broadly, all shops, hotels, eating houses, restaurants, theatres, places of public amusement or establishment and other commercial establishments, etc. are under the Shop and Establishment Act. They have to obtain registration under the same.

The establishment covered under the Act must apply for registration, within 30 days from the date of commencement of establishment, in the prescribed form along with prescribed fees. The labour department of the state governs the Shops and Establishment Act. The shop or the establishment submits the application of the registration to the local district labour officer. After the satisfaction of the application, the concerned officer will issue the Shop and Establishment Act registration certificate.
