What is Shop & Establishment Registration?

Shop and Establishment Registration is a state-specific requirement that mandates all business entities to register with the local government. Any commercial establishment—including trading or service businesses, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and places of public amusement—must obtain this registration, typically within 30 days of commencement.

The registration ensures that the business operates in compliance with state laws and provides statutory benefits to employees. Additionally, the license serves as proof of commercial activity, facilitating other registrations and helping in tasks such as opening a bank account.
