Navigating State Compliance: Do I Need to Register My Branch Office Under AP Shops & Establishment Act?

Hi, I have one query. If a company is registered in another state with its Head Office (e.g., Ahmedabad) but has a Branch Office in Hyderabad, is it mandatory to register the Branch Office under the AP Shops & Establishment Act? Also, Professional Tax is paid in the Head Office for all the employees who are working in the Hyderabad branch. Is this acceptable, or do we still need to pay Professional Tax in Hyderabad only?

Need your advice ASAP. Please guide.

Thanks & Regards,
Swetha

All compliances, including contributions, need to be done according to the jurisdiction area.

Hello All, Is insurance coverage (Mediclaim & Personal) mandatory (not ESI) for employees? If an employee does not wish to be covered and wants to add this premium amount to their Basic, can we do that (company registered under AP Shops & Establishment Act)? Please guide me.

Thanks in advance.
