Dear Sir/Madam, I am looking at an individual row house in which to start a salon in a Mumbai suburb. The owner is agreeing to helping with procuring shop and establishment and health licences from the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai. However, he is not agreeing to do a change of user from residential to commercial property type.
Moreover, he says that if the salon is on a 30 foot wide road, has an independent entrance, a change of user to commercial is not needed to operate a salon.
Please advise if the shop and establishment, and health licenses will be sufficient to legally operate a salon business. That is, it is legally acceptable and a change of user to commercial property is not necessary in this case if the said licenses are procured.

1. SALON work is a "commercial activity" under the MH. Shop & Establishment Act, entailing mandatory lifting of debris, water connection & sewage discharge.
2. Under the MMC Act, a penalty is leviable for conducting "non-residential activity" (non-exempted) from "Residential Premises".
