As required by labour laws, all labour registers need to be maintained in physical form separately. Given the large number of employees in stores and back-end infrastructure like warehouses, it becomes difficult for retailers to maintain such registers separately in physical form.

We submitted a representation to the Labour Ministry of Maharashtra proposing that these registers be consolidated into one register which can be electronically maintained in a soft copy format as this would allow the employer to comply with such provisions in an accurate and environment-friendly manner.
