LABOUR-ANNUAL-RETURN-MH — Annual Labour Returns (Maharashtra)
Maharashtra's own rules under the Labour Codes are not yet final, and until they are the returns under its older labour rules are still owed. The earliest is a factory's annual return in Form 27, on or before 10 January; Lawzer raises the year's annual returns on that date, for the establishments the annual return under the Codes reaches. Once the state's rules are final, it moves to the date they give.

Mallah Software Services Private Limited has not independently verified this against the gazette. The citation above is the instrument this date is taken from, and it is exact enough for a professional to check. Inside Lawzer a company secretary or chartered accountant can record that they have checked it, against the rule as it read on the day — and that record is withdrawn automatically if the rule later changes. A date nobody has checked says so.
