Legal Classification Confusion: Is My Pharmaceutical Company a Factory or a Shop?

Respected Seniors,

I am working in a pharmaceutical company in New Delhi. My company buys medicine from another company under its name. The company has recently registered with ESIC and PF.

Legal Classification Inquiry

I want to know under which act my company falls, i.e., the Factory Act or the Shops and Establishment Act, etc.

I will be so thankful for your help.

Regards,

From your question, I presume you are a trading firm; hence, you would come under the Shops Act.

The reply given seems to be correct. Yours is not a manufacturing company, nor any hospital, hotel, educational institution, railway, etc. So, the presumption of it being a trading/marketing firm appears to be correct. Moreover, the reply has been "endorsed" by a senior expert member of this forum - Mr. Koragaonker. Why do you need more responses?

Since you have not made any effort to provide more information/details about your query or company, you are not able to attract more replies. In fact, my reply is more exhaustive and explanatory than your query. Please take some pains in furnishing more information before expecting to attract more replies.

Warm regards.
