Shop Act Registration refers to the registration of a business under the Shops and Establishments Act, which is regulated by the respective state government. It is mandatory for all shops, commercial establishments, offices, hotels, restaurants, and other workplaces.
This registration ensures that the business complies with rules related to working hours, wages, employee rights, safety, and working conditions. It also acts as a basic business license and proof of establishment for opening bank accounts and applying for other registrations.
