Government fee — paid by you at actuals
The government fee is set by the Maharashtra Labour Department and varies with worker count and the period you choose at application, so it is paid at actuals and we quote yours before you commit. Certificates are commonly issued for one to ten years with the fee scaling — choosing a longer term up front is usually cheaper than renewing annually.
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% on delivery.
All fees and charges listed are indicative only and do not constitute a binding offer. Final amounts may vary depending on the volume of work and the complexity involved.
Fewer than ten and you file an intimation of commencement with the facilitator and receive an acknowledgement. Ten or more and you apply for a full registration certificate.
Premises proof, electricity bill, constitution documents, employee count and a photograph of the establishment showing signage.
The certificate runs for a period you select at application, commonly one to ten years, with the fee scaling. Longer up front usually beats renewing annually.
Submitted on the Maharashtra Labour Department portal and tracked to issue, with the current account documentation pack ready for the bank.

The Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017 replaced the 1948 Act and changed the basic structure. Under ten workers is an intimation, not a registration. Most guidance online has not caught up.
Both get called "Gumasta" and banks in Maharashtra normally take the acknowledgement or the certificate. Which one applies decides your form, your fee and your ongoing obligations.
The fee scales with the period you choose, and the arithmetic almost always favours picking a longer term at the outset rather than renewing every year.
A proprietorship has no incorporation certificate, so Gumasta is the document that stands in its place at account opening and at marketplace seller onboarding.
Name, address, business nature or worker count changes all need intimating, and so does closure. Businesses that skip this find out at inspection.
Whether you can register at a residential address depends on the business and the local body’s position on commercial use. We check before filing rather than after a rejection.
