Dear Nehasonwane22,
First of all there is no concept of on roll and off roll. There can be a direct roll or indirect roll i.e. through contractor or third party. You may have employees on contractual basis i.e. Fixed Term. You may have full time employment or part time employment.
Now answer to your specific query in specific words is as under:
When you have less than 20 (that means 19 and less) employees all together including through contractor or third party and Fixed Term, part time etc., following Acts are applicable to you in Maharashtra.
1. MLWF
2. PTax
3. ESI Act if you are a factory.

Yours is a commercial establishment therefore is covered under the Shop and Establishment Act. You need to obtain registration under the same.
The main objective of the Act is to protect the rights of both employer and employee. The Shop and Establishment Act generally regulates payment of wages, hours of work, terms of service, wages for holidays, leave policy, work conditions, overtime work, interval for meals and rest, prohibition for employment of children, employment of young persons or women, maternity leave and benefits thereof, opening and closing hours, closed days, weekly holiday, dismissal, cleanliness, lighting and ventilation, fire safety and precautions, accidents, record keeping, etc.

Dear Prabhat ji,
You advised the member to obtain registration under S&E Act, as against my advise to him to obtain S&E registration if he has 10 or more employees and in case he has less than 10 employees, intimate to the department online in prescribed format.
Kindly verify the fact as to the provision of Law, from your end and give correct position.

Dear Sri Koregaonkarji,
The opinion is nothing but speaks about the objectives of S&E Act, since you have allready replied. There is no suggestion pushed against your suggestion. Your posting and my posting are quite different in terms of the question asked for. The main confusion was less than 20 manpower.
You therefore requested to consider that there was absolute nothing from my side to push ideas against your opinion.
