Question 1

What are the government fees for LLP registration?

Accepted Answer

The dedicated Sikkim Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1983 remains in force (the Labour Department's own site references a decriminalization notification against it dated 01 July 2026), and 'Shops and Commercial Establishments' are separately listed as a Scheduled Employment under the newer, broader Sikkim Labour (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2021, which requires registration/licensing of establishments generally. Threshold: Under the 2021 Act: every establishment, principal employer or owner, and every Service Provider/Sub-Service Provider who employed labourers on any day of the preceding 12 months (no minimum headcount stated). The 1983 Act's own threshold could not be read (its PDF was unreadable at source). Fee basis: Registration/licensing fees are set by rules/notification 'as may be prescribed' (Section 34 of the 2021 Act) rather than fixed in the Act itself; the specific rupee figure was not located. Renewal: Under the 2021 Act, an establishment/Service Provider licence is valid 1 year or until completion of work, whichever is earlier (Section 13(3)); renewal application due 30 days before expiry, with a late-renewal fine of Rs 50/day in excess of the ordinary fee (Section 16). Statute: Sikkim Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1983 and Rules, 1984; overlapping with the Sikkim Labour (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2021 (Act No. 11 of 2021) Read the full text of the 2021 Act at source (Sikkim Government Gazette Extraordinary No. 159, 29 June 2021, via the Labour Department's own document repository). It repeals the Sikkim Labour Protection Act, 2005 and introduces registration of establishments/Service Providers/Sub-Service Providers/individual workers, annual licensing, and penalties (fine up to Rs 10,000 or imprisonment up to 3 months for failure to register/license, doubled on repeat offence; compounding minimum Rs 2,500). Establishments employing 50+ workers must also provide transport/transport allowance and (if 50+ female workers) creche facilities under the 2021 Act's Section 20.
