Bangalore-specific notes
The Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act is administered by the Karnataka Labour Department and registrations run via the e-Karmika portal (ekarmika.karnataka.gov.in). Bangalore Urban circle processes the majority of city applications. GST is filed on the central portal (gst.gov.in) but the local CGST / Karnataka SGST jurisdictional office is assigned automatically based on PIN code. Udyam is fully online.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need GST if I'm just starting?
Not necessarily. For services the GST threshold is ₹20 lakh annual turnover; for goods it is ₹40 lakh. If you are below the threshold and not doing inter-state B2B, you can defer. Sevantay gives you a specific recommendation in writing.
Shop Act or Udyam — which should I get first?
Shop Act is mandatory the moment you have a commercial premises in Bangalore. Udyam is optional but free — always recommended because it unlocks MSME benefits. Both are included in this bundle.
Can I register a company (Pvt Ltd / LLP) through this bundle?
This bundle covers proprietorship-friendly registrations. For Pvt Ltd / LLP / OPC incorporation, we run a separate workflow (DSC, DIN, name reservation, incorporation) — we are happy to quote for that.
Do I need a commercial address, or can I use my home?
You can register a home-based business under the Shop Act in Bangalore, subject to a few conditions (no manufacturing, no customer walk-ins, landlord NOC if rented). We check eligibility during the compliance plan step.
Will you handle monthly GST returns after registration?
Not as part of this bundle — ongoing monthly return filing is a separate engagement. We can connect you with a chartered accountant partner if needed.
