Frequently Asked Questions

A Shop Act licence is the registration (or intimation) of a shop or commercial establishment under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017. It is commonly used as proof that your business exists at its address.

Namuna G is the acknowledgement issued to establishments with 0 to 9 workers, which only need to intimate the department about their business. Namuna B is the registration certificate for establishments with 10 or more workers.

Shops, offices, restaurants, hotels, IT and service companies, consultancies, clinics and other commercial establishments in Maharashtra. Establishments with 10 or more workers must register (Namuna B); smaller ones file an intimation (Namuna G).

The employer applies: the proprietor of a proprietorship, a partner of a partnership firm, a director of a company or a trustee of a trust, using their Aadhaar and PAN.

Our all-inclusive price is ₹550 for Namuna G (0 to 9 workers) and ₹2,800 for Namuna B (10 or more workers), per application.
