What is Shop Act Registration?
Shop Act Registration, also known as Labour License or Gumasta License (in Maharashtra), is a mandatory registration under the Shops and Establishments Act for businesses operating from commercial spaces such as shops, offices, warehouses, and establishments.
This registration is required to legally operate a business and ensure compliance with labour regulations related to working hours, wages, holidays, and employee safety. The rules vary slightly from state to state but apply across all Indian states and union territories.
