(1) Every principal employer of an establishment to which this Act
applies shall, within such period as the appropriate government may, by
notification in the Official Gazette, fix in this behalf with respect to
establishment generally or with respect to any class of them, make an
application to the registering officer in the prescribed manner for
registration of the establishment:
PROVIDED that the registering officer may entertain any
such application for registration after expiry of the period fixed in this
behalf, if the registering officer is satisfied that the applicant was

respects, the registering officer shall register the establishment and issue to
the principal employer of the establishment a certificate of registration
containing such particulars as may be prescribed.
