About This Service
Governed by state laws (e.g., Maharashtra Shops & Establishments Act), this is the basic license to operate a commercial “premises.” It regulates working hours, weekly offs, and employee leave policies. In 2026, most states have moved to “Intimation” for small shops, but a full “Registration” is still needed for larger establishments.
Eligibility & Criteria
- Limits:
- 0-9 Employees: Simple “Intimation” (Lifetime validity in many states).
- 10+ Employees: Formal Registration (Renewal required every 1-10 years).
- Penalties: Operating without a Shop Act license can lead to fines ranging from ₹1,000 to ₹1 Lakh, depending on the state and the number of days of non-compliance.
Critical Compliance Info
"Most agents 'apply' for these. We 'Integrate' them. We ensure your FSSAI turnover matches your GST, and your PF headcount matches your Income Tax Audit. We don't just give you a certificate; we give you Compliance Harmony."
In 2026, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has moved toward a high-stakes, "Risk-Based" compliance model. As your Virtual CFO, we treat ROC filing not as a paperwork task, but as a Corporate Credit Rating exercise.
