CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · Various Initial Registrations and Licenses

A newly registered establishment under a State Shops and Establishments Act changes its business name and moves to a new address in the same State. What is the correct compliance expectation?

The establishment should notify the registering authority of the change of name and address within the time and manner the State law prescribes, so the registration records remain correct. Informing only the tax department or the ROC does not satisfy the State shops and establishments requirement.

  1. ANo action is needed because registration is permanent and unaffected by changes
  2. BCancel the business and start afresh with ROC
  3. CIntimate the registering authority of the change in the manner and time prescribed by the State law, so the records and certificate stay accurateCorrect
  4. DInform only the Income Tax Department

Explanation

State rules generally require employers to notify changes in particulars such as name, address or ownership to the registering authority. Treating registration as unaffected leaves records inaccurate. The ROC and income tax authority do not substitute for this intimation.
