Shop Act registrationfor your office or shop.

Most offices, shops and commercial premises in India must register under their state's Shops and Establishments Act soon after opening. The Act also sets working hours, holidays and leave. Rules differ by state, and some only need an intimation for small teams. We register and keep you compliant.
