🏬 Why is this License Mandatory?
The Shop and Establishment Act regulates the conditions of work and employment in shops, commercial establishments, hotels, and restaurants. It is the fundamental "Birth Certificate" for any business entity in India.
| Feature | Who Needs It? | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Every commercial shop or office. | Lifetime or Periodic (State-wise) |
| Applicability | Even if you have 0 employees. | Required for Current Bank A/c |
| Timing | Apply within 30 days of starting. | Govt Rules Apply |
⚠️ Strict Deadline Alert
Under state laws, you must register your establishment within 30 days of commencement of work. Failure to do so can lead to inspection notices and heavy penalties from the local labor department.

Mainly: Owner's ID (Aadhaar/PAN), Photo of the Shop (Frontage), Rental Agreement/Sale Deed, and List of Employees.
4. Do I need it for an IT company?

5. Is it required for opening a Bank Account?
