Assam में छोटा बिज़नेस शुरू करना (2026): लागत, मज़दूरी, किराया, लाइसेंस
Assam is the commercial gateway to the North-East, but its wage floor is low (₹10,543/month unskilled, shops, statewide, VDA from Jan 2026) and commercial power is expensive (₹8.94/unit flat with a ₹150/kW fixed charge). Guwahati licences are municipal with a published ₹100 application fee and trade fees of roughly ₹1,750–20,000. Unlike the smaller NE states, Assam uses the national ₹40 lakh GST goods threshold. Floods from May to September are the main business risk, hitting stock and road access. Food businesses must observe the Dec 2024 ban on serving beef in hotels, restaurants and public places. Bihu (April and January) sets the demand calendar, and the state's Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan pays ₹10,000 seed money to women in self-help groups to start micro-businesses.
