The Shops and Establishments Act is a key labour law in India that governs working conditions in shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, theatres, and other commercial establishments. It regulates essential aspects like working hours, wages, leave policies, holidays, and employment terms to ensure a fair and lawful work environment for both employers and employees. Under this Act, Shop and Establishment Registration is mandatory for any business operating within a state, including offices, warehouses, restaurants, and service providers. The registration serves as legal proof of the business’s operation and compliance with state-specific labour regulations, promoting transparency and accountability.
