Labour Ministry puts forward four key laws for Cabinet’s approval

21 Jun 2016 Evaluate

With an aim to push labor reforms, the labour ministry has lined up amendments of four key laws for the Cabinet’s approval. The laws include Shop & Establishment Act and also amendments to the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, amendments to the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 and the amendments to the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923. The decision was taken after the meeting between the officials of the labour ministry and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) last week. The idea is to line up enough legislation for Parliament’s approval in the upcoming monsoon session.

Among the four legislation, first that could soon get an approval from Cabinet is the Shop & Establishment Act, which will pave the way for retailers in order to remain open round the clock. The model Shop & Establishment Act is expected to come up for cabinet’s approval in this week. Under the model Shop & Establishment Act, which will be made effective through a notification, bricks-and-mortar stores will have the flexibility to remain open round the clock.  Further the Shop & Establishment Act will provide equal opportunity in order to compete with their online peers. At present, shops remains closed on a specified day depending on traditional practices and there is no provision for shops to remain open round the clock.

Moreover, as proposed by Jaitley in the previous budget a year ago the other amendments to the EPF & MP Act will provide EPFO subscribers an option of choosing between EPF and the New Pension System. However, the amendments to the Maternity Benefit Act could more than double the maternity leave to 26 weeks from the existing 12 weeks.
