Question 1

Is a shop and establishment licence compulsory for a private limited company?

Accepted Answer

Every shop and commercial establishment in Haryana registers with the Labour Department; the department's own fee table has an explicit slab for an establishment owned and managed by the shopkeeper with no employees at all, so there is no minimum-employee threshold for registration. Threshold: No minimum employee count for registration; the fee slab depends on the nature of the business and on whether 10 or more employees are engaged. Fee basis: registration fee for a 3-year certificate, slabbed by nature of business (the department's own file states: 'The fees to be paid for the grant of a certificate of registration depends upon the nature of business') Slabs: Starred hotels, cinema houses, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions and/or Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Establishments and telecommunication establishments employing 10 or more employees — INR 5000; Nursing homes, privately managed educational institutions/universities and petrol pumps — INR 1000; Workshops, automobile service stations (not covered under the Factories Act, 1948), computer training centres, shorthand and type institutions, health & fitness clubs, clinics, medical laboratories, restaurants, un-starred hotels, and/or all establishments employing 10 or more employees — INR 500; All shops and commercial establishments not covered under the above three categories and employing fewer than 10 employees — INR 300; All shops and commercial establishments owned and/or managed by the shopkeeper himself/herself and not employing any employee — INR 100 Renewal: Registration certificate is granted for 3 years; the department's fee table is expressed as a 'Registration fee for 3 years'. Statute: Shops and Commercial Establishments Act 1958 (as named on the Labour Department's own registration page) The fee slabs were read directly from the Labour Department's own fee-structure spreadsheet at storage.hrylabour.gov.in (linked from.gov.in/shops/front/shop_terms), which the previous session could not parse.
