No specific legal formality is attached with such shop. Maximum you can get your establishment registered under Shops and commercial establishment act.

You also need to register under Profession Tax department.

actually this not a start up of producers company... in fact souvenir shop will be set up by Self Help Group (SHG) so my query are:
1. who will file the TAN,PAN and VAT number
means who will own these numbers?
2. Is there no need of TAN,PAN and VAT number for SHG ?
3. if yes then how will it function?

Thanks in advance

Since you are opening newly commercial establishment. It is utmost you will have firstly register for Gumasta license under Shop and Establishment Act and also for Profession Tax under the Profession Tax Act.
