Shop and Establishment Act Registration is a legal process of business registration of a Shop in India. Any shop or commercial entity that commences its business operation in India must apply for the Shop Act License within the prescribed time limit to run its business smoothly. The Shop and Establishment Act is governed by the labour department of each state. To get Shop Act License the business owner has to provide certain documents such as the Name of the establishment, PAN of the establishment, address proof, communication details such as mobile and email address, business category of establishment, ownership proof, MOA, rental agreements, etc. After assessment of the Shop Act License application, the labour department grant certificate has a validity of 5 years.

The main objective of the Shop Act is to safeguard the interest of employees such as payment of wages, bonuses, holidays, hours of work, opening hours, closing hours, maternity leaves, annual leaves, overtime work, rules for employment of children’s, closed days, national holidays, religious holidays, terms and conditions of work, leaves, and many more, and other working conditions of employees working in the shop and commercial establishment. It provides a right to equality in employment. The Shop Act doesn’t only regulates shop and commercial business but is also applicable and regulates charitable institutions, societies, NGOs, printing, and educational premises as well as premises engaged in the business of banking, finance, insurance, hotels, restaurant, theatres, and many more. Further, establishments, as defined by the Act, may also include other establishments as defined by the Central Government by notification in the Official Gazette.
