• In India, 90–94% of jobs are in the unorganized sector, which does not have a license, is not registered, and does not follow any laws or rules. This is a huge problem for the government because it makes it hard to figure out income and taxes, and there is no protection for people who work in unorganized sectors. The government saw the problem and passed the Shops and Establishments Act in 1953, which gives shops and small businesses a license to run.

• A business like a store, hotel, restaurant, movie theatre, public amusement park, stock brokering, trading services, etc. is called an establishment. Under The Shops and Establishments Act, 1953, the government gives out Shop Establishment Licenses so that these businesses can run and follow the rules.

• The main reason for passing this act was to protect workers in the unorganized sector and give shops and other places of business a legal framework for regulating themselves. Every state in India has its own version of the Shop and Establishment license because it requires a thorough and deep understanding of the local feelings and work culture.

Can have the legal rights to do a business

If you can show proof that your business is a legal entity, like a partnership or a sole proprietorship, you will be able to do business in your area or state.

Current Business Account is easy to open
 

According to RBI rules, every store or business needs to open its own business account. This is so that it has to show what it does on a daily basis. To open such an account, you have to show valid proof of entity to the bank. The shops and establishment license might make it easier for you to open this account.

Helps with convenient and smooth inspections

Local government and state government officials make regular visits and checks to see if the shops and businesses in a certain area are working properly or not. If you have a license for shops and businesses, these inspections will go quickly and easily.

Can avail of many Government benefits

All small businesses in a State are governed by the State DIC Department. It sometimes comes up with programs to help small businesses, but only businesses with a shops & establishment license can use these programs. So, if you don't already have a license, you need to get this one right away.

• These days, the majority of businesses in India, such as shops, restaurants, cafes, eateries, and so on, are regulated and governed by the provisions of the Shop and Establishment Act, and as a result, are required to obtain Shop and Establishment Licenses in order to operate legally. However, it is important to keep in mind that it is governed by a state act, and the laws and guidelines that govern it vary from state to state. This is something that must be taken into consideration. In addition, the purpose of this act is to ensure that the laborers who are employed are provided with proper and adequate working conditions, as well as that their wages, holidays, and many other fundamental rights are protected.

• In most cases, individuals must first obtain registration under the Shop and Establishment Act before they are allowed to open a current bank account in the name of the proposed business with the bank.

• In addition, opening a bank account is not as important as having this license, as not having it may result in the inspector inspecting the business premises and causing the businessman in question to deal with problems that are not necessary.
