Odisha-specific updates

8 Nov 2025
Odisha's shops Act now sets a ten-hour day, opens every establishment 24×7, and stops at twenty employees
The Odisha Shops and Commercial Establishments (Amendment) Act, 2025 — Odisha Act 01 of 2026, assented on 9 January 2026 and published in the Odisha Gazette Extraordinary No. 203 of 16 January 2026 — is deemed to have come into force on 8 November 2025, and it changes the shape of the Act considerably. A new section 1(2-a) applies the Act, except section 4A, only to establishments employing twenty or more employees. Section 7 goes from nine hours a day to ten, with the total including overtime capped at twelve rather than ten, and the quarterly overtime ceiling raised from fifty hours to a hundred and forty-four. Section 9 lets an employee work six continuous hours before the half-hour rest interval instead of five. Section 11 allows every establishment to remain open 24×7, and section 12 for all 365 days, provided overtime is paid and a weekly holiday of at least twenty-four consecutive hours is given, with compensatory leave within three months if it is not. Section 23's blanket bar on women working at night is gone — it now bars only adolescents — and a new section 23A lets the State Government permit women to work at night by notification, with their written consent and on prescribed conditions of safety, security and dignity. Section 4A requires the establishment's name on a sign board in Odia, and that one applies whatever the headcount.
