an activity involving the movement of goods from the residential premises is regarded as commercial and not allowed unless specific permissions are obtained.

 they should be located away from residential areas in order to reduce the extent of noise pollution.

you can start a manufacturing business with less equipment which allows you to establish the unit at your home, provided you have a small space.

If you intend to carry out commercial activity at a residential property, you are obligated to obtain a license under the Shop and Establishment Act, enacted by your state. The act regulates any place where the commercial activity takes place and makes it mandatory for shops and commercial establishments to obtain a license before they start commercial operations.

Running a small tool room: The permissibility of running a tool room in a commercial shop in Subhash Nagar, Delhi, depends on the zoning regulations and local laws applicable to the area. You would need to review the specific zoning regulations and consult with local authorities or a legal professional who specializes in property and zoning laws to determine if running a tool room is allowed in that location.

 

Goods packing: Again, the permissibility of conducting goods packing in a commercial shop would depend on local regulations and any specific restrictions or permissions outlined in the lease agreement or local laws. It is important to review the terms of your lease and consult with local authorities or legal professionals to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

 

Load capacity: The load capacity of a commercial shop may be subject to building codes, safety regulations, and any specific guidelines or restrictions set by the local authorities. It is advisable to consult with architects, structural engineers, or relevant local authorities to determine the load capacity and any limitations or requirements you should consider.

 

Change of land use: If you intend to change the land use from a commercial shop to a tool room or any other industrial use, it may require obtaining necessary permissions, permits, and clearances from the local authorities. Changes in land use typically require compliance with zoning regulations and may involve a formal application process.
