New circular clarifies round-the-clock operations for shops with safeguards under the Maharashtra Shops & Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017.
All establishments except those selling/supplying liquor may operate round the clock subject to compliance with the Act and applicable conditions.
Employees must receive a continuous 24-hour weekly off as per the 2017 Act to protect worker health and welfare.
Permit rooms, beer bars, dance bars, hookah parlours, discotheques, and liquor shops remain governed by separate fixed opening/closing timings set via Government Resolution.
Circular prevents unwarranted enforcement of earlier restricted timings. The State may still define category-wise timings as needed.
Karma Management supports pan-India regulatory obligations under State Shops & Establishments laws. Key service areas include:
The 24×7 allowance—paired with strict employee welfare safeguards—balances business flexibility and worker protection. It reduces friction with local enforcement, supports tourism & late-hour commerce, and modernises the retail ecosystem in Maharashtra.
Karma Management can audit your readiness, align rosters with weekly-off mandates, and set up documentation & display norms.
