Establishment & Employment related support
Every business in India is governed by state or centre-specific regulations. To legally operate any business in India, it is mandatory to obtain Licenses and Registrations and to comply with all applicable Establishment & Employment laws.
- Trade License
Trade License comes under the jurisdiction of the State Municipal Corporation of the area where the business is situated. The license does not allow the holder to carry out any other trade or business other than for it is issued. The mode of procuring and statutory fees differs from State to State.
- Shops & Establishment Registration
This Registration is obtained from the State labour office and applies to all the shops, establishments and commercial establishments and is hence mandatory to be procured by all the businesses. The mode of procuring and statutory fees differs from State to State.
- Import & Export Code
This registration is a prerequisite for the businesses dealing in exporting from and importing to India. The import and Export Code is issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and is an Income Tax PAN-based registration. Hence only one Import Export Code (IEC) can be obtained against one PAN.
- GST Registration
The supply of goods and services in India triggers the requirement to obtain GST registration. Upon successful registration, the business is allotted a 15-digit unique number called GSTIN by the Central government.
There are plenty of other Industry specific licenses and registrations to be obtained and established laws to be complied with.
Apart from the Establishment related licenses and registrations, there are employment-related legislations that have been enacted to safeguard and promote the interest of labour covering several aspects such as fair wages, regular payments, working conditions, holidays, leaves, safety and health, conditions of work, labour welfare, social security, industrial relations, protection of interest of women and child labour, labour indebtedness, recruitment and training, etc.
