Under the Telangana Shops and Establishments Act, 1988, an establishment must register within 30 days of starting work. It is done online through the Telangana Labour Department portal. ### What does it cost? The government fee depends on the number of employees at the time of registration. Reported fees start at ₹100 for no employees, ₹500 for 1 to 5 employees, ₹1,000 for 6 to 10, ₹2,000 for 11 to 20 and ₹5,000 for 21 to 50, with higher slabs beyond that. We confirm the current slab before we file. ### Do I also need a GHMC trade licence? If your premises are within Hyderabad city limits, the GHMC trade licence is a separate municipal permission. It is not the same as Shops and Establishments registration, and you may need both. ### What is the Professional Tax in Telangana? Employees earning up to ₹15,000 a month pay nil. Those earning ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 pay ₹150 a month, and above ₹20,000 pay ₹200 a month, with a yearly cap of ₹2,500. The employer deducts it and pays it. ### Do I need this if I work alone with no staff? The registration applies to establishments, and the fee slab starts for establishments with no employees. A sole shop or office in Hyderabad still usually registers. We tell you if your case is exempt. ## Related Hyderabad services [GHMC trade licence](https://www.anukram.in/trade-license-hyderabad.html)[GST registration in Hyderabad](https://www.anukram.in/gst-registration-hyderabad.html)[FSSAI licence](https://www.anukram.in/fssai-license.html)[Udyam (MSME) registration](https://www.anukram.in/msme-udyam-registration.html) **Note:** This page is general information, not professional advice for your case.
