Why is Shop & Establishment License required?
It is mandatory under the respective state’s Shops and Establishments Act to regulate conditions of work, payment of wages, working hours, holidays, etc.
Any place where business activities are carried out usually requires this registration.
In your case — M/S ABC has:
Registered office at Place A (no business activity here)
Business activities carried out at Rented Premises B
What should be done?
The Shop & Establishment License is required for the place where actual business activities take place, i.e., the Rented Premises B.
The registered office, if no business is done there (like just an address for correspondence), typically does not require this license.
However, if any employees work or business is conducted from the registered office, then it would need registration.
Summary:
License is needed where business operations are actually carried out.
Registered office without activity generally does not require license.
The rented place where business happens must have the Shop & Establishment license.
