Equity Governance Framework · Entry Layer

Shop & Establishment Registration

A mandatory registration for any business premises - offices included - that governs working hours, leave, and employment conditions under your state's specific rules.

State-specific rules

Each state has its own Shops & Establishment Act with different registration rules and thresholds.

Even remote-first companies need it

A registered office or any commercial premises typically still needs registration.

Per-location registration

Every physical business location typically needs its own registration.

Periodic renewal

Most states require renewal every 1–5 years, depending on local rules.

Common questions

Does a fully remote company still need this?

If you have a registered office or any commercial premises, registration is typically still required regardless of remote work policy.

Do we need separate registrations for each branch office?

Generally yes - each physical location needs its own registration under the applicable state Act.

What happens if we operate without registration?

Operating without valid registration can attract fines and complicate other registrations, like opening a bank account or applying for licenses.
