Shops Act Registration Renewal due date — Shops & Establishment Registration Renewal

Also searched as: SHOPS-RENEWAL

Renew the shops and establishments registration before it runs out, on the term its certificate gives. In Maharashtra a registration (ten or more workers) lasts as long as was applied for, up to ten years, and is renewed not less than thirty days before it expires; in Karnataka five years, renewed before expiry; in West Bengal three years, applied for within thirty days after; in Haryana every three years by 31 March; in Andhra Pradesh three years to 31 March; in Delhi twenty-one years. Record the date the registration is valid until in the profile and Lawzer raises the renewal 30 days before it; without the date, nothing is raised. Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha no longer renew a registration, and Telangana and Kerala renew every year by 1 December.

Mallah Software Services Private Limited has not independently verified this against the gazette. The citation above is the instrument this date is taken from, and it is exact enough for a professional to check. Inside Lawzer a company secretary or chartered accountant can record that they have checked it, against the rule as it read on the day — and that record is withdrawn automatically if the rule later changes. A date nobody has checked says so.
