Labour registration covers the licenses businesses need under labour laws — Shops & Establishment registration for premises, and Contract Labour Act licensing where contract workers are engaged.
Registered establishments must also file periodic returns and maintain registers; Dattriox manages the full annual calendar.
Why is it required?
- Shops & Establishment registration is mandatory for most commercial premises within 30 days of starting business.
- Non-compliance invites inspections, penalties and prosecution under state labour laws.
- Required for opening current accounts and in many vendor onboarding checks.
Documents required
- PAN and address proof of the establishment
- Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed
- Employee details (list, Aadhaar, salary structure)
- Rent agreement / NOC for premises
- Nature of business and employee strength certificate
