Run Your Business Legally in Your City
Last reviewed:
Trade License is issued by your city's municipal corporation. It's proof you run a legal business in that city. Whether you operate a restaurant or a factory, your city needs to know.
Different cities have different fees based on business type and location. Restaurants, shops, and manufacturers pay different amounts. We check your city's rules and calculate exact fee.
Annual renewal keeps your license active. Once approved, you get certificate from municipal corporation. Business runs legally, tax approved, and customers have trust. Workers also get protection under labor laws.
Operating without a trade license is a punishable offense. Municipal corporations can fine you ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 depending on the city. They can also seal your business premises until you get the license. Many city municipal corporations run regular drives against unlicensed businesses, with stricter enforcement in metro areas.
Trade license needs annual renewal. Your license is valid for one financial year (April to March). You must renew before March 31 every year. Late renewal attracts a penalty of 5% to 25% of the license fee depending on how late you are. We send you renewal reminders every February so you never miss the deadline.
Trade license rules and fees vary by city. Most municipal corporations charge between ₹500 to ₹5,000 based on business type and area, while metro cities may have different fee structures by zone and business category. We know the exact fee for your city and business type.
