Start with the correct jurisdiction, then test the establishment, workforce, activity, date and official instrument. This page separates what is sourced from what still needs a Gazette-level check.
Chhattisgarh Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017
The official Shramev Jayate route identifies the 2017 legal framework. Historical periods must still be tested against the earlier adapted law and transition instruments.
Applicable State Rules, amendments and portal instructions
Never borrow a Rule, form, threshold or exemption from another State or UT.
Use the State Gazette for Code Rules and for repeal, savings and transition treatment.
Enactment, Rule publication, commencement and establishment applicability are separate questions.
| Layer | Question to answer | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Jurisdiction | Which State/UT and which appropriate Government governs the establishment and worker? | Registered office, workplace address, activity, control and worker-location records. |
| 2. Establishment law | Does the Shops law, factory/mines framework, sector law or a special exemption apply? | Registration/intimation, licence, classification and exemption instrument. |
| 3. Employment conditions | What rules govern hours, spread-over, weekly rest, overtime, leave, holidays and women/night work? | Roster, attendance, consent, transport/security controls, leave ledger and wage records. |
| 4. Wages and social security | Which wage notification, EPF, ESI, gratuity, bonus, maternity, compensation or BOCW rule applies? | Wage category, notification date, contribution records and benefit eligibility evidence. |
| 5. State levies | Does Labour Welfare Fund or professional tax apply, and to whom? | Registration, employee classification, deduction authority, return and payment proof. |
| 6. Forms and portals | Is the legal filing made through a State portal, Shram Suvidha, NSWS or physical authority? | Application, attachments, acknowledgement, certificate and defect communications. |
| 7. Change control | Has a Gazette, holiday list, wage revision, exemption or portal advisory changed the answer? | Dated source copy, effective period, supersession chain and internal implementation note. |
Check the applicable wage category, hours, overtime, weekly rest, deductions and wage-payment evidence—not merely the employment contract.
Check statutory leave, holidays, maternity/POSH protection, workplace safety and any night-work safeguards applicable to the location and activity.
Preserve appointment terms, attendance, payslips, notices, disciplinary records, settlement papers and the correct authority or portal route.

Only after a jurisdiction-specific check. Working hours, leave, holidays, women/night-work conditions, notices and returns can differ.
Applicable minimum wage category, overtime, deductions, LWF/PT, EPF/ESI and the effective date of the governing notification.
