Yes, we have to register the firm under the Shops and Establishments Act with the Labour Department. When the firm is registered with no employees or with employees, the Minimum Wages Act is applicable to the establishment/factory as per the schedule notified by the state government.

Hi,
Allow me to add my question to it: would Professional Tax also be applicable if only 3 employees are aligned to one branch (Madhya Pradesh)? The others are located in Chattisgarh (2) and New Delhi (25). Delhi is the head office from where the salary is being processed by the company. Please guide me; I have been looking for the answer for a long time.
Thanks.

As far as my knowledge goes, there is no minimum or maximum number of employees needed for the payment of professional tax. So, irrespective of whether there is one employee or many employees and regardless of the city, Professional Tax would be deducted from the salary and paid by the organization as per the rules and applicability. Seniors can confirm, though.
