GST Registration in Bangalore

Bangalore questions we get asked

Which establishment law applies to a Bangalore office?

The Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961. It governs the registration itself, the renewal cycle, and the working-hours, overtime and leave entitlements your Bangalore staff can claim — all of which differ from the neighbouring state's act.

Do I have to deduct professional tax for staff in Bangalore?

Karnataka levies professional tax under the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976, with employer and employee registrations. It is separate from PF and ESI, and the employer registration is due regardless of headcount.
