TRADE LICENSE

A Trade License or Business License is a license issued by the local government allowing a trader to operate a listed business within the jurisdiction of the local government. Municipal Corporation, Municipality, or Panchayat may be the Local Authority or Local Body.

Every employer and proprietor of a shop or establishment, regardless of whether it is a Sole Proprietorship, Partnership Firm, LLP, Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, or any other business entity registered under any other law in force at the time, must apply for a Trade License. The purpose of the business license is to create a business-like environment in a commercial space, to separate residential and commercial spaces, and to restrict illegal business activities. It must be renewed and the trade license fee must be paid based on the total square footage of occupied space.
