Shopkeepers and other establishment owners in the city are in a dilemma over payment for licence renewal. Even four months after the relaxation in terms for renewal of licence for establishments with less than 10 employees, they are yet to get the benefits. In August, under the ease of doing business, the state government had announced changes in the Shops and Establishments Act. According to them, establishments which have less than 10 workers will no longer need to be registered to operate, and renewal will be easier to handle and close. They will also be free from inspections on labour compliances.
