Shop & Establishment Affidavit

कब ज़रूरत पड़ती है

You are registering a shop, office or commercial establishment under the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 — as applicable in the State of Punjab, and as extended to and applied in the Union Territory of Chandigarh — and the local authority or the online portal wants a sworn affidavit from the proprietor, partner or authorised signatory confirming the establishment's particulars before it issues the registration certificate. Many municipal bodies now accept a self-certified online declaration for a first registration, without a notarised affidavit; use this document where a sworn affidavit is specifically asked for — on renewal, on a change of particulars, where the online route is unavailable for the applicant's category of establishment, or simply because the office handling the application wants one on file. It affirms who runs the establishment, what it does, where, since when, how many people work there, and its weekly holiday and working hours, and undertakes to comply with the Act. For a shop or commercial establishment in Punjab or Chandigarh. Not a substitute for the registration application form itself, which is filed separately with or through the relevant Labour Department or municipal portal; this affidavit supports that application.

नीचे जो लिखा है वह पंजाब और चंडीगढ़ के लिए है। इसमें वहीं की स्थिति दी गई है, यह नहीं कि यह कहाँ-कहाँ कैसे बदलती है — यानी नीचे की रकमें वही हैं जो लागू होती हैं। दरें बदलती रहती हैं, इसलिए सब-रजिस्ट्रार दफ़्तर से पक्का कर लेना ठीक रहता है। अगर प्रॉपर्टी भारत में कहीं और है, तो इनमें से कुछ भी आपके लिए नहीं है।
