Dear Sir,

Yes, it applies in Haryana.

It is not necessary to deposit INR 5,000/- in all cases. It depends on the number of employees. If it is less than 10, then there is no need to deposit the money at the time of registration. However, we should fulfill the registration formalities under the Haryana Labour Welfare Fund and also maintain the employee-wise records as per the act. Additionally, submit the quarterly return accordingly.

I need your valuable suggestions/comments, if any.

Thanks,

Jagdish Pathak

Dear,

It is again made clear that we are to deposit the fees even if we do not employ a single employee in the establishment such as in cases of starred hotels, petrol pumps, banks, finance companies, etc. In this category, the registration and renewal fees are Rs.10,000/-. For more details, one should go through the fees chart as laid down in Rule 13(1) of The Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Rules, 1958, as applicable to the State of Haryana. This fees chart was substituted by Haryana Govt. notification No. GSR-1/32/82-1Lab dated 28.02.1997. Fees are for a block of three years. Year means a year commencing on the 1st day of April.

Dear All,

We have registered under The Punjab Shop & Commercial Establishment Act for the financial year 2007-2008. However, due to some reason, we have not renewed the registration for the financial year 2008-09. Please suggest what to do in this case.

Hi,

We have a store in Zirakpur, Punjab. We have already obtained the Shops & Establishment Certificate. The authorities have informed us that there is no need to renew it for the year 2010 as the renewal process has been halted for this year. Kindly advise us on this matter.

Our company is a project-based organization dealing in refractory applications. Currently, we are working in Haryana under the premises of a factory. I am seeking clarification on whether the Shops and Establishment Act is applicable to us.
