Thank you Mr. Kumar for above information.
but I belongs to Bhubaneswar, Odisha branch and we are going to appoint a C&F,
so my query is whether we should demand that C&F person to provide his Shop & Establishment certificate- it means whether a C&F need to obtain the registration certificate from Shop & Establishment ?
and what are other documents (statutory) we need to collect from him before making the agreement.
