Transitioning to LLP: Do We Need a Shop & Establishment License Now?

We are basically a Partnership firm with approximately 100 employees located in Pune, Maharashtra, engaged in the engineering consultation sector. We have recently converted to a "Limited Liability Partnership" firm. Please let me know whether we are required to have a Shop & Establishment License now.

Regards,
Anjali

Yes, it will be applicable. Even a shop managed and run by members of the family will be covered under the Act. Your establishment will be covered under the definition of a Commercial Establishment; hence, the Shop & Commercial Establishment Act will be applicable.

Dear Anjali, This Act is not a central Act. Therefore, first examine which of the state Shops & Establishment Acts may be applicable in your case. Then, go through that Act to see whether your establishment is covered under it or not.
