For a shop in Thane, do we need both Shops and Establishment Registration as well as Trade License Registration? Why do we need both? This is incorrect, I feel. If we have one, then the other should not be required.

Dear friend,

I am afraid that your contention stems from your loud thinking. The purpose and scope of a trade license and the license issued under the State Shops and Establishments Acts are entirely different throughout India. A trade license is issued by the Local Body Administration like Municipal Corporation, Municipality, Town, and Village Panchayats, permitting a particular individual to start and run a specific business in a particular area or locality. Besides, this license is of different categories such as Industries license, Shop license, and Food Establishments license.

The Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017 is the first State Enactment on the Model Shops and Establishments Act, 2016 introduced by the Central Government. This Act requires only those shops and establishments employing 10 or more employees to take a license under the Act. Therefore, it is essential that one has to take up both licenses if fulfilling the basic criterion.
