Overview
Running a business is exciting—but compliance is non-negotiable. Whether you own a shop, startup, office, café, or commercial establishment, Shop & Establishments Registration is the foundation of your legal identity. At FastTrack FinTax, we make this mandatory compliance simple, fast, and stress-free.
The Shop & Establishments Act is a state-specific labor law that regulates working conditions, employee rights, wages, holidays, and operational hours of shops and commercial establishments.
Every business establishment must register under this Act within the prescribed time limit after commencement of operations. This registration serves as legal proof of your business existence and is often required for opening bank accounts, GST registration, and other licenses.
FastTrack FinTax ensures 100% compliant registration with minimal documentation and quick turnaround.
