The deadline for implementing Marathi signboards ended a week ago (September 30), but shop owners will get another 10 days to put them up. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will issue a seven days notice from October 10, before taking action against defaulters. The shop owners’ association petition challenging the amendment in the law for the same, and requesting a stay on the action is due for hearing in the Supreme Court.
According to the amendment in the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) (Amendment) Act, 2022, all shops in the state must display Marathi signboards in Devanagari script. Other cities and districts in Maharashtra have started implementing the law, but BMC has still not started acting against defaulters.
