Business compliance in Punjab
Registrations and filings run on national portals wherever you incorporate — what Punjab decides is the state layer: what the incorporation documents are stamped at, whether payroll carries professional tax, how establishments register, and which Registrar of Companies your filings land with. Here are the specifics for the state.
Capital: Chandigarh · Districts: 23
What is specific to Punjab
- Stamp duty at incorporation
- Punjab is among the costlier states on incorporation stamp duty — its flat duties on the incorporation documents are notably higher than in neighbouring Haryana or Delhi.
- Professional tax
- Punjab levies a professional-tax equivalent — the Punjab State Development Tax of ₹200 a month on income-tax-paying earners, deducted by employers since 2018.
- Shops & Establishments registration
- Establishments register under the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 with the Labour Department within 30 days of opening.
- Your Registrar of Companies
- Registrar of Companies, Chandigarh — the office covering Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh.
