How Do I Register Our 2014 Holiday List with the Mumbai Shop & Establishment Office?

I am currently working on the holiday list for the year 2014 and have realized that companies need to register their yearly holiday list for each year with the Shop & Establishment Office. Can somebody kindly explain this procedure? We are based in Mumbai. Our company's Bombay S&E registration also has to be done, so these two things have to happen simultaneously.

I'd really appreciate any help you may be able to give me.

Best regards,
Aditya

I think you should have posted your query separately and not in continuation of our fellow member's query.

Holiday List Registration Query

I do not think we need to register the holiday list. Our company also comes under the Shop Act, but we have never registered our holiday list. Anyhow, let us wait for inputs from other members.

Hi Gia, thanks for your reply. I went through the Act, and it says that the holiday list has to be registered. If the days on which holidays are given (such as Holi, Diwali, etc.) remain the same, then separate registration for each year NEED NOT be done. I am just quoting the Act. As our company is yet to be registered under Bombay S&E, we will register holidays along with company registration. Kindly advise.

Regards.

There could be no second thought regarding registration under S&E. Do that first, then other things could follow. And why do you worry when 2014 is two months away now?

I am based in Gujarat, and during my career, I have registered under the S&E Act three times. However, I have never submitted the Holiday List to date. The Act requires a minimum of 10 days of holidays in a calendar year, including four national holidays, but it does not specify the need for registration.

Dear loginmiraclelogistics,

If we apply for an exemption, do we still have to register holidays for the next year?

Dear friend,

If you have already registered, you are also required to file the holiday list. If an exemption is granted, there will be no need to do so.
