Shops & Establishment Act Compliance
Secure your business license, comply with state-specific working conditions, and operate with complete legal legitimacy.

Introduction and Value Proposition
The Shops and Commercial Establishments Act is a state-specific legislation that regulates the operation of shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial entities. It is the foundational license for any business, governing working hours, overtime, leave policies, and other conditions of work. Operating without this registration or violating its provisions can lead to fines and operational disruptions. PCS provides expert guidance through the state-specific registration process and ensures your ongoing compliance, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your business.
