Shop Act Registration

Shop Act Registration is compulsory for every individual doing business, operating a shop, running a commercial establishment or providing services in the territory of India. It attempts to outline the rights and duties of the employers and employees of the unorganized sectors. It also seeks to streamline the employment conditions like working hours, wage payments, leave entitlements, holidays, and safety measures.

The Registration falls under the jurisdiction of the respective State Governments and is governed by the Shops and Establishments Act, which means there would be some variation from state to state.
