Dear Robin Singh,
The reply of the Labour Department you mentioned is a reflection of the ubiquitous lethargy and red-tapism prevalent in government offices. Since registration is a one-time affair, certainly, every registering authority will have a register of establishments to be kept permanent.
Anyway, engage a consultant as Mr. Nathrao suggested, for he will have the knack of getting things done in time because of his influential acquaintances.

It is unfortunate that even for the registration of your shop or establishment, one has to engage a consultant. Talk of registration through the internet and one-click, one-window is not translated into reality. I had to engage a consultant for obtaining an NOC, although most requirements were complied with. Lethargy and greed dominate thinking. How will business get going if the very department that is supposed to facilitate is itself not really helpful? This fundamental problem has to be resolved for India to move forward. Otherwise, things will remain on paper, and we will remain stuck in a complex environment of rules and regulations.
Making government departments work optimally is the biggest challenge, and that is not being meaningfully addressed by any government.

Yes, Mr. Rao, this is the order of the day. Unfortunately, we inherit the restrictive rules and modalities thrust upon us by a suspicious foreign ruler and continue them even after his departure. Rules are there only to guide the administrative machinery and the public to accomplish the purpose for which rules were made. But unfortunately, the administrative machinery is bent upon applying the rules only to negate the purpose for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the reply, sir. Yes, it was a mistake. I had corrected it in my subsequent posts as the Shops and Establishments Act. I can reveal my company's name, but I have not disclosed it for obvious reasons. We are a PSU and we trade various commodities. We have already checked with the local labor department office, and they have informed us that registration is not necessary or applicable for us as we fall under the Central Government. However, I have doubts because even though we are a central PSU, we are a commercial undertaking, so registration may be necessary. Nevertheless, following the guidance of our members, I am consulting a professional to determine the registration status of our certificate as I am confident that it should have been registered. Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate the registration number in our records. I am grateful for all the guidance you have provided.

Robin,
You seem to be in the state of Tamil Nadu. To the best of my knowledge, the Tamil Nadu Shop and Establishment Act does not provide for registration or licensing of shops and commercial establishments. That is probably why you do not have a registration number. Please get a copy of the act and check what the actual requirements are and how they dovetail with your organization.

Dear Saswata Banerjee,
We are based in Telangana. Today, I heard from my retired seniors that they had registered a long time back. The sad thing is that nobody has bothered to renew or look into it and preserve a copy. It has disappeared. The labor department here said that it is not necessary. I am confused. However, after detailed discussions here, we have decided to go in for a consultant to find the registration number and handle the renewal. Moreover, the local GHMC authorities say that we have to obtain a separate trade license and renew it annually at the rate of Rs. 6 per sq.ft for our office.
Regards,
Robin Singh
