Hi Sir, Greetings...!

Please suggest or clarify whether I need to include Executive Officials (like CEO, CFO, HR Manager, Company Secretary) in the employees' list while registering the Shops and Establishment under Andhra Pradesh.

Waiting for your valuable response at the earliest.

1. If these people are on the payroll, they must be included in the employee list.

2. If you have any employees working in an office space located outside of this state, and they are already included in the state-specific list, they should not be included in this list.

Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs.

Registration Requirements for Branches and Franchises

1. If an organization has branches or franchises in other cities or towns of the same state where the registration is done at the main office location, do we need to register each branch under the SE Act, AP?

Registration for Automobile Workshop and Showroom

2. Also, if an automobile workshop and showroom are located on the same premises, does SE Act registration suffice, or do we have to register the workshop under the Factories Act and the showroom under the SE Act?

Validity of Registration under the SE Act

3. What is the maximum validity of registration of a shop or establishment under the SE Act? Is there lifetime registration?

Exemption from Registration under the Factories Act

4. Is an automobile workshop, where there is no hazardous work, exempted from registration under the Factories Act?

An early reply by experts is highly appreciated.
