Nexa Consultancy | Startup & Finance Glossary
Most states in India require businesses (including offices) to register under the local Shops and Establishment Act. Failure to register can lead to fines and penalties imposed by the local municipal or labor authorities.
Startup Example: A startup opens a new office in Bangalore but fails to obtain a Shops and Establishment registration. A surprise inspection by a labor inspector could result in a penalty.
