According to the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act of 2017, the Gumasta License is a necessary registration for businesses in Maharashtra, India. Its purpose is to make businesses legal, ensure they follow the rules, and protect the interests of both businesses and employees. This requirement applies to all types of businesses, whether they operate in physical stores or online, no matter how big or small they are.
Operating a business without proper registration could lead to legal consequences, such as facing fines or other penalties imposed by authorities.
