  Maharashtra  Govt  Pulls Back  Factory & Shop Working Hour Reforms To Comply With Centre's Labour Code Mumbai: The Centre’s decision to implement the Labour Code has compelled the  Maharashtra government to roll back proposed amendments to two  key  laws governing  working hours in factories, shops and  commercial  establishments After the Code was introduced in November last year, the state rolled back the tweaked Bill to the Factories Act, 1948 that had been sent for Presidential nod. An ordinance amending the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017 is also being rolled back, the Assembly was told. The key reason is the divergence over working hours. While Maharashtra had proposed extending daily working hours from eight to 12 in some sectors, the centrally enacted Labour Code mandates an eight-hour workday .
