Dear friends,

This checklist was prepared by me when I was working in Mumbai as per the Maharashtra Shops & Establishment Act. Please double-check the sections, and if there have been any changes, kindly inform me.

1. Whether falling within the definition of an establishment under Sec. 2(8)?

2. If yes, have you obtained registration under Sec. 7(1)?

3. Are any changes in the particulars supplied at the time of registration being communicated to the Inspector? (Sec. 8)

4. Are the opening hours, closing hours, rest intervals, and weekly holidays in accordance with the provisions of Chapter III of the Act?

5. Is the employment of children, young persons, and women, if any, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VI?

6. Are the provisions of leave and payment of wages in accordance with Chapter VII?

7. Are the provisions of health and safety in accordance with Chapter VIII?

8. Are registers and records being maintained in the appropriate form in accordance with Sec. 62, Rule 20 of The Maharashtra Shops & Establishments Rules, 1961?

9. Are wages for overtime work being paid in accordance with Sec. 63?

10. Is the notice of termination of service of an employee who has been in continuous employment in compliance with Sec. 66?

Now, the big question is, if your company is in IT/BPO, how are you maintaining the records? Is it through software or manually? If through software, have you obtained exemptions from the Labor Department? If not, why?

If you are maintaining records manually, do you face any challenges, especially considering your company is a software company?

Please come up with solutions.

Regards,
