Questions about gharelu tatha sana udhyog registration
Is this the same as registering a company?
No. This registers the industrial or business activity. A company registration at the Office of the Company Registrar creates the legal entity. Many businesses need both, and which combination applies depends on scale and structure.
Which office handles my registration?
It depends on the scale of the enterprise and its location. Smaller enterprises generally sit with the Department of Cottage and Small Industries or the relevant provincial or local office, and larger ones with the Department of Industry. We confirm this before filing.
Do I need to renew it?
Registered industries carry periodic reporting obligations, and some sector permits renew on their own cycle. We provide the schedule at handover.
