Feb 16 ,2012 - Election Holiday In Mumbai - PDF Download

Hi Team,
As you know that on Feb 16, 2012 there is election in mumbai. Is there any notice/circular issued by government authorities regarding holiday for said date under Negotiable Instrument Act or any other Act. If yes then pls share said notice.

Please find attached Notification for Municipal General Election 2012.

Kindly go through State Election Commission, Maharashtra

some public sectors, hospitality, manufacturing may provide half day or 2-3 hours off for election purpose.

Dear All,
Is it compulsory for private companies to keep their office shut? What will be the adverse effect?
Our company won't declare a holiday for election.

It seems many companies will declare 2/3 hours concession for casting the votes, is it fine ? or the full day holiday needs to be declared ?

Hi,
Its depends upon the continuity and criticality of the business. it's a company's call whether to declare off or give concession of 2 hrs from the regular working hours. Pl refer to clause no 4.1 and 4.2....its very clear.
