Opening a New Office in Delhi: Do We Need Separate Registration Under the Delhi Act?

Dear All,

Please help me with this query. We already have one location registered under the Delhi Act. Now, we are opening a new office at a different location in Delhi itself. Do we need to register the new location under the same act? Will the old registration work for the new location as well?

Please tell me.

Dear Nishu,

I am enclosing the Shop and Commercial Establishment - Delhi.

Hi Sreeniwasan,

Thank you for your reply. I have gone through the act to some extent. The registration process is there at the initial level, but I have not seen how another location in the same city is to be registered. Though I came to know we just need to inform the authority about the second location and the number of people who would work there.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

Dear Nishu,

In my opinion, if you are establishing a new location in an area where the Delhi Shop Act is applicable, then you are required to register that establishment separately under this Act since the premises are considered different as per the definition of a Shop under this Act. We have to obtain different registrations for different locations.

Is registration under the Delhi Shops & Commercial Establishment Act mandatory? If yes, can any organization incorporated in 2001 go for this registration now.

Dear Dr. P K Pant,

Yes, it is mandatory to get the establishment registered under this Act. If there is any exemption for any establishment, then there is no need to get that establishment registered; otherwise, we are to get this registered even if it was incorporated in 2001.

Can anyone share the forms and registers to be maintained for the Delhi Shops and Commercial Establishment Act?

Thanks and regards,
