What is Shop & Establishment Registration?
The Shop and Establishment Registration is a mandatory legal requirement under the Shops and Establishments Act of each state or union territory in India. It applies to all commercial entities, including shops, offices, businesses, and service establishments.
This registration is regulated by the Labour Department of the respective state government and ensures that your business complies with the laws related to working hours, wages, holidays, safety, and employee welfare.
Every business establishment must register under this Act within 30 days of starting operations.
At Oxom Consultancy Hub, we offer completely online registration services — no need to visit any government office or submit offline documents.
