What registration is required for sole proprietary business?

I am going to start a sole proprietary business of providing various services like cleaning, drying, interior designing, decorating etc for which I require some machineries as inputs.

So, please tell me what kind of registrations do I need? Is it GST registration or registration under Shop and Establishment Act or MSME registration?

Quick Summary
If you're starting a sole proprietorship offering services like cleaning, interior design, or decorating, you'll likely need several registrations. These typically include registration under the Shop and Establishment Act. GST registration is also required if you'll be providing services to registered taxpayers who need invoices for input tax credit. Depending on your location and business activities, you may also need to consider profession tax registration and a trade license.

Yes registration under shop act is required. GST Registration wud also be required if you are selling services to registere tax payer, as he wud require tax invoice to claim ITC. Registration for payment of profession tax wud also be required.
Sir, Could you send me the link please to register?
And do I need to take trade license?
