Mizoram Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 2010
The Mizoram Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 2010 and its accompanying Rules, 2011 apply to all shops and commercial establishments in areas notified by the Mizoram Government. The Act protects employees’ rights by regulating wage payment, terms of service, work hours, rest intervals, overtime, opening and closing hours, closed days, holidays, leave (including maternity leave and benefits), working conditions, the employment of children, and record-keeping.
Registration
Within thirty days of these Rules taking effect, for establishments already operating on that date — or within thirty days of starting business, for new ones — the employer must apply for registration to the Chief Inspector, or an officer they’ve authorized, using Form ‘A’ in duplicate and print, along with the original Treasury challan for the fee specified in Schedule I.
The State Government may relax this requirement: if satisfied with an employer’s reasons, it can permit an establishment to be registered, or its registration renewed, by a later date specified in a separate order.
Compliances
Compliance requirements are set out in the Mizoram Shops and Establishments Rules, 2011.
