Shops Act

i take that its a "manufacturing company"  and if its so, they have to get  "Factory licence" under the factories Act.  they need not  get  licence  under  shops and establishment  Act.

The private limited co need not to register as per shop and establishment act. but the company must register under the companies act 1956.

 Section 2(4) of S&E Act says:

(4) "Commercial establishment" means an establishment which carries on, any business, trade or profession

A private limited company certainly carries on some business. How can it not be covered under the Act. 

Dear Mr. Anil,

You are right in stating that every commercial establishment needs to be registered under the Shops Act, if they are not covered under the Factories Act, or Mines Act.

Most of the High Courts have interpreted the definition of Industry in different terms, and hence the State Government have been through notifications are increasing the applicability of the act to more and more trades, professions and businesses.
