Procedure for Registration and Renewal under Delhi Shops and Establishment Act: Fees, Documents, Lat - CiteHR

Registration Under the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act

My company was established in 2005, but we are not registered under the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act. I want to know what the procedure is for registration. What are the fees and documents required for registration? Is there any late fee we have to pay, and what is the registration validity under this act?

I also want to know the procedure for renewal of registration.
