Overview
About This Service
The Shops and Establishments Act is state legislation that regulates working hours, rest intervals, overtime, leave entitlement, and employment conditions in shops, offices, and commercial establishments. Registration with the state labour department is generally required within thirty days of starting operations. The licence is also the most commonly accepted proof of business existence when opening a current account, applying for a payment gateway, or registering on marketplaces. Rules, fees, and renewal cycles differ by state, and some states now issue a lifetime registration.
