Frequently Asked Questions
Is shop and establishment registration the same as a trade licence?
No. Shop and establishment registration is a labour law requirement, while a trade licence is issued by GHMC or the local body. Many businesses need both.
Do home-based businesses need it?
It depends on how and where the business operates. We will check your case.
