The Government of Tripura on September 30, 2024, issued a Proposal for the Sixth Amendment of the Tripura Shops and Establishments Act, 1970.
The Tripura Shops and Establishments (Sixth Amendment) Bill 2024 proposes changes to modernize the existing 1970 Act, primarily aimed at enhancing convenience for business owners and customers. The key amendment is to allow women to work night shifts in shops and establishments, with necessary safeguards to maintain their rights and privileges. The amendment is part of efforts to improve the Ease of Doing Business, extend operational hours, and ensure workers' rights, without imposing any financial burden on the government, as costs will be borne by the employers.
