Navigating Licenses: Do I Need Both the Chennai Municipal and Shops Act Licenses?

I have obtained a license under the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act. Should I have to obtain a license under the Shops and Establishments Act?

Dear Mr. Narayanan,

Please explain what license you have obtained under the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act and why you obtained it.

With regard to the Shops & Establishments Act Registration, you have to find out whether your business falls under the purview of the Act.

Hi Narayanan,

You might have obtained a trade license or PT registration from the Chennai Municipal Corporation. Kindly confirm the nature of the business of your establishment, which will help seniors suggest appropriate advice.
