Opening a New Outlet: Is Shop and Establishment Registration Necessary If Already Registered Under the Factory Act?

Raj Kumar Chauhan
Hi seniors, I have a question: We are opening an outlet in the same city under the company's name. Is the shop and establishment registration mandatory for this, given that we are already registered under the Factory Act? Please confirm.

Hi, You are manufacturing a product in your factory premises for which you have registered under the Factories Act.

Now, those manufactured goods/products are sold through your own outlet in the same city. This outlet should be registered under the Shops and Establishment Act. The business carried out in the factory and outlet differs, and hence separate licenses are required as per the respective acts.
