NOTIFICATION

Consequent to the introduction of online registration of shops and establishments under the West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act,1963 (the Act) and Rules framed thereunder, an extensive process re-engineering as well as e-Governance solutions had been undertaken to reduce regulatory burden on users. It has since been decided in consultation with the Finance Department that the regulatory burden on the users and the administrative burden should be further reduced by a process of "deemed renewal" of licences issued under the Act after the expiry of the license period.
In view of the above, the Governor is pleased to dispense with the provision of fees for renewal of licences of shops and establishments under the Act.
This shall take immediate effect.

By order of the Governor,
S. SURESH KUMAR 

Principal Secretary to the Government of West Bengal
