Is an Exemption Order Needed for Computerized Employee Records in Maharashtra?

Dear Experts, Is it compulsory to obtain the exemption order copy from the labor department to maintain computerized records such as wages, leave, bonuses, and pay slips? Or can we maintain these records without the order copy in the prescribed formats?

Thank you.

Yes, you need to get an exemption from the DLC for maintaining computerized attendance records under Section 31 of the Minimum Wages Act, 1963.

Exemption Order for Automation of Records

Should we take an exemption order for the automation of records under both the Minimum Wages Act and the Mumbai Shops and Establishments Act, or under just one of the acts? If yes, please specify the act. Please confirm.
