I am working as an HR Executive in a pharmaceutical company that has its corporate office in Chandigarh. I have to get the registration for this office under the Punjab Shops & Commercial Establishment Act, 1958.

As I don't know much about this act, can you provide me with information on how to maintain/fill the Form C register? What other types of formalities do we have to perform for this registration process?

Waiting for your help...
