Seeking to provide greater flexibility to retailers, banks, shops as well as malls on various issues including the timings of opening and closing of shops throughout the year, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday cleared the Model Shop & Establishment Act. The Model Act would bring uniformity in the legislative provisions, making it easier for all the states to adopt it and thereby ensuring uniform working conditions across the country.
This new act will be efficient in generating further employment as shops and establishments will have freedom to operate for long hours all the year round.
This new act can be a game changer for the country. Not only it will increase the employment, but also, people will be able to access to several facilities 24×7.
