Trade Name registration

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the registration process for a proprietorship business operating under a trade name. While proprietorships themselves don't have a central registration authority, businesses typically need to register under the Shop & Establishment Act. This registration, even if conducted from home, serves as primary proof of business. However, registering at a residential address may lead to commercial property tax rates. Alternatively, MSME registration can also serve as business proof, and bankers may accept it for account opening, though the Shop & Establishment Licence is often preferred.

13 August 2020 sir
I do not have any separate place for my business. I am doing my trading business at home itself. It is enough for getting licence under Shop & Establishment Act.

13 August 2020 If you take Shop & Establishment license on your house address, your property will be considered as commercial property and you will have to pay municipal tax at commercial rates. So before taking he licence, you need to keep this point in mind. You may take registration MSME for business poof.

13 August 2020 Property has to be seen either as a residential property or commercial property. If the rented property is a residential property, the the point I mentioned earlier will apply.

13 August 2020 Basically bankers may ask registration certificate of Shop and Establishment Licence Act for account opening. Otherwise MSME is enough.
