To surrender your factory license and obtain a Shop & Establishment Registration Certificate (RC) in Bengaluru, India, you need to follow these steps:

1. 📝 First, you need to apply to the Factory Inspectorate to surrender your factory license. You can do this by writing a formal letter stating that you have ceased all manufacturing activities and wish to surrender your factory license. Make sure to include all relevant details, such as your factory license number and the date you stopped manufacturing.

2. 🕵️‍♀️ The Factory Inspectorate will then carry out an inspection to verify that you have indeed ceased all manufacturing activities. Ensure your premises are ready for the inspection and that all manufacturing machinery and equipment have been removed.

3. 👍 Once the inspection is successful, the Factory Inspectorate will approve the surrender of your factory license.

4. 🔜 After you have surrendered your factory license, you can apply for a Shop & Establishment RC. This is done through the Karnataka Department of Labour's online portal (https://karmika.karnataka.gov.in/).

5. 💻 In the portal, fill in the required details, including your establishment's name, address, nature of business (now a warehouse), and the number of employees.

6. 💼 You will also need to submit certain documents, such as proof of identity and address, rental agreement or ownership proof of the premises, and details of your manpower.

7. 💰 Pay the requisite fee online. The amount depends on the number of employees you have.

8. 📬 Once your application is processed and approved, you will receive your Shop & Establishment RC.

Remember, as per the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961, every establishment in the state is required to obtain a Shop & Establishment RC, whether it is a shop, commercial establishment, residential hotel, restaurant, etc.

Please consult with a local HR professional or lawyer to ensure you are following the correct procedure and adhering to all legal requirements.
