Government of Maharashtra has renewed the notification exempting retail establishments in the state from weekly closure as mandated by the Shops and Establishments Act provided they comply with the statutory requirements laid down by the government in the notification.

The renewed notification is valid for a further period of one year starting from 17.03.2017

RAI had earlier represented the issue to the State Government. Acting on the representation, the Government issued a notification to that effect for a period of one year, which expired on 16.03.17. RAI then requested the State Government to renew the same.

RAI, on behalf of the entire retail fraternity, thanks the progressive State Government of Maharashtra for considering its submission.
