Maharashtra is the first state in India to draft the new Shops and Establishments law. The law is applicable to all commercial establishments in the state, (not covered under the Factories Act), which employ 10 or more workers.

Firms that employ more than 10 workers must obtain a license under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act within 60 days after the new Act comes into effect (December 20) or once a firm’s current license expires. The registration can be done online, and all records will be maintained electronically. Further, the commercial entity can determine the validity period of its registration, which cannot exceed 10 years. Firms which employ less than 10 works must still register under the Act but do not require a license.
