To carryout the business in Karnataka one must need PT employer registration..However PT employee registration is not required since no employees.

To establish a place of business or to carryout the business through a shop/building , you must need shops and establishment registration

Ok thank you for your reply. So, both are mandatory whether employees are there are not right ?

also, if we take registration online.. do we get certificate or do we have to followup going to their office ?

Yes.Its mandatory

It's online process.Once you fill the form 2 online & make enrollment fee payment online ,you would get the EC in Form 4 online..

Shops & E also you would get online.
In few cases there will verification by case worker
