A permit under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act regulates work conditions, including employee rights, working hours, wages and safety. It caps adults' maximum working hours at nine hours/day and 48 hours/week. If non-compliance with the law results in a worker's serious bodily injury or death, it could lead to up to six months imprisonment or ₹5,00,000 fine, or both.
