This query is : Resolved
My Head Office (H.O) is in Delhi and three branches are in Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore. The branches which are mainly warehouses run through service providers but all VAT & other licences are in the name of my company. there is no staff employed by me there except the brach head which is on HO roll. All support staff is engeged by service providers. I want to know whether shop and establishment act of the respective states i.e. Maharashtra, Karnatake and W.B. in applicable in my branches even if i do not have any own staff there and am I suppose have registration of Shops & Establishment Act at those branches.
Please share your views. Thanks & regards

Each and every unit, that conducts business for the Principle, will have to have a S&E registration and Trade licence, in Mumbai, irrespective of the number of persons employed or not employed.

Each Branch has to observe respective State Shops & Establishment rules irrespective of Staff employed there.

Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for valuable inputs. as you can see from the facts of my case. There is no employee directly employed by me but the manpower being used is employed by the service provider, whom I am paying commission for providing services.
Now my question is whether I am suppose to get registration under the Shop & Establishment ACt or my my service provider or both. Please let me have a considered view please.
Thanks

You shall have to get registration under the act as the issue of employment of manpower working with you, has no connection with the registration.

If your "service provider" is going to manage your business affairs in mumbai AND if the service provider is going to display his Business Name Board, outside his business premises, THEN it would be best for you to refrain from obtaining the S&E registration and Trade licence, in Mumbai.
HOWEVER, you should direct your service provider to register and obtain S&E registration and Trade licence, under the name of the service provider.
