Licenses - gift city, gandhinagar, gujarat

SHASHIDHAR A (Querist) 23 December 2016 This query is : Resolved
Respected Sirs,

We are planning to open a center in GIFT City, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. We came to know that, we can run the operations without having a valid license under Shop Act. The reasons quoted are, since the location is under the Panchayat limits registration under Shop Act is not required. In fact we got to know that license under Shop Act itself is not applicable. Also, this place comes under Zone-II of Gujarat.

We understand that, Bombay S&E Act is applicable in Gujarat. When companies in Mumbai are required to take license under this act how come having license in GIFT City is not applicable? Request the experts to clarify the following:

1. GIFT City is under the limits of Village Panchayat, we want to know if the license under Bombay S&E Act is applicable or not.
2. If applicable, where and in which Lab.Dept, we need to submit the application. If possible share the soft copy of relevant forms.
3. Is it fine to run the business from GIFT City, by having registrations under PT, ESI Sub-code, LWF & Emp.Exchange? PF is covered centrally from Mumbai.
4. Are there any other registrations need to be done. If yes, kindly share the list
5. Is this area comes under Zone-II category under the Minimum Wages applicable for Gujarat.

Thank you in advance.
