Apart from what I listed above, the Shops Act also provides for a weekly off and four national holidays. The Act covers shops that are trading in goods as well as commercial establishments that provide services, entertainment, hotels, restaurants, etc. The Act contains substantive sections as well as rules framed by the State Government concerned, prescribing the procedure for implementing the provisions of the Act such as rules regarding:
- Registration of establishments
- Obtaining licenses
- Maintaining registers/records
- Enforcing authorities like Shops Inspectors who supervise the implementation of the Act.
You can have a copy of the Shops Act of your State for more details.

We are an IT company, and I want to know how important it is to adhere to the Shop and Establishment Act. What are the consequences if we are not registered under it?

When an act or statute prescribes certain conditions to be complied with by those to whom it is applicable, they become mandatory. Since they are mandatory, the statute also prescribes prosecutions and penalties for breaches. Please go through the Karnataka Shops and Establishments Act for detailed information as you seem to be located in Bangalore.
