Is Your Delhi Office Required to Register Under the Shops and Establishment Act? Seeking Clarity!

I would like to know, is it mandatory for a Private Limited company's Head Office located in Delhi (which is not a shop) to get registered for Shops and Establishment Act. Different persons have given different views. What is the fact?

Thank you,

Registration of Head Office Under Shops and Establishments Act

If the head office is not a shop, why should there be confusion? Alternatively, if your apprehension is about the registration of the head office (in Delhi) of a factory, then I will say that since the Head Office is not situated within the factory compound, it should have separate registration. Since it is not carrying out any manufacturing activity therein, it should be registered as a shop under the Delhi Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. In other words, any office of a factory, mine, or plantation which is situated outside the premises/compound wall of the said factory, mine, or plantation should be registered under the respective State's Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.

Dear Mr. Madhu,

I am a bit confused by your reply (I beg your pardon for the same). Can you please clearly indicate whether I am eligible for registration or not.

I repeat, if your concern is about the registration of your head office in Delhi and is separate from the factories being controlled by it, it should be registered as a shop.

Dear Krishan,

If you are not a shop but a commercial establishment, you are governed by the Act. Any industrial establishment other than a factory will fall under this Act.

Dear Mr. Biswal, I understand that registration under the Shops and Establishment Act in Delhi has been in abeyance for a long time. The purpose here is not to engage in a debate, but rather to determine how I can confirm my eligibility for registration. Could you please suggest the relevant office to approach for information on the application process and contact details? My location is in Delhi.

Thank you,

Can anyone tell me if a training institute needs to be registered under the Shops & Establishment Act? If yes, what is the procedure?
