The Gujarat government has issued a directive requiring all establishments with ten or more employees to register online, aiming to streamline labour compliance.
Gujarat's state administration announced a new regulation that obliges every establishment employing ten or more workers to complete an online registration. The directive, issued through an official notification, mandates that firms use a designated digital portal to submit their details, including workforce size and nature of operations.
The move is part of the government's broader effort to create a comprehensive database of employers, improve monitoring of labour standards, and facilitate easier access to welfare schemes for workers. Officials said the online system will replace the earlier manual processes, reducing paperwork and enabling quicker verification.
Businesses are expected to comply within the timeframe specified in the notification, after which non‑registered establishments could face penalties. The labour department has urged employers to visit the portal and complete the registration at the earliest to avoid disruptions.
The policy reflects Gujarat's ongoing push to modernise regulatory frameworks and align with digital governance initiatives across the country.
