We are outsourced work by HP to repair and maintain computer and have our branch offices in Lucknow, Kanpur etc. and are being pressed by labour inspector to get under the Act.
To my view the Act is not applicable. In any case, the job is on contract basis and registration is required on yearly basis. The inspector is asking for security deposit of Rs. 5000/- for that . He is also insisting for accidental insuarance of employees in disregard to ESI registration.
Please enlighten.

you are covered under the Act and need registration
You do not have to pay any security to the inspector, the fees is paid directly through the treasury challan in Nationalized bank
I do not think there is any need for accident insurance in addition to the ESI if applicable but Workmen Compensation Act will be applicable

Dear Friend,

I am currently in Delhi, but I have spent the last few years in Lucknow, UP, dealing with labor issues related to shops and factories.

If your company is a manufacturing unit, it should be registered under the Indian Factories Act, 1948.

If your company is a shop or establishment, it should be covered under the UP Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. This Act contains all the necessary information regarding the operation of a shop or establishment (offices), including working hours, closing days, holidays, leaves, wages, labor policies, employment of women, young persons, overtime policies, and other regulations. Once a company is established, it must be registered within three months under this Act. Registration can be done for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years, and the license renewal application should be submitted by the end of the financial year.

The license fee is dependent on the number of employees your company has. You can initiate the required correspondence with the labor office in Noida.

Best regards,

Dear Rekha,

The Shops and Commercial Establishment Act is applicable to shops as well as commercial establishments. A commercial establishment refers to any establishment that operates for commercial purposes. Therefore, all corporate offices, software companies, and liaison offices come under the purview of the Act.

You must register under the Act and comply with other provisions such as maintaining prescribed registers, implementing a leave policy, providing maternity benefits, and regulating overtime.

Regarding your inquiry about the Uttar Pradesh Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1962, as a Pvt. Ltd. Company located in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, it is essential to determine if registration under the Act is mandatory for your company or only for shops. For further information on registration and compliance, you can reach out to relevant government offices or visit official websites.

I eagerly anticipate your valuable responses and advice.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Deepti,

Thank you for the comprehensive information; it was quite useful. In your attachment, it states a 12.5% penalty on late fees. Could you please clarify if this penalty is applied monthly or annually? I was informed that the late fee amount varies each year, and the penalty interest is 12.5% per month. For instance, if a company hasn't registered for two years, the penalty for the first year is 2000, with a 12.5% monthly penalty. In the second year, the penalty increases to 6000 with the same 12.5% penalty. Is this information accurate?
