But the interesting thing is! Home-based parlors, home-based food services and home-based clothing sales services are partially commercial or partially non- commercial. If, only 20% of the services are operated from home, then they will be considered as non- commercial services. If their business runs 100% then, it counts as commercial services. And such service should be registered under the shop & establishment Act.1948
