Hi Vidya Mohan,

Annual returns under Karnataka Shops & Establishments Act has to be filed on or before 31 January every year.

As far as I know, didn’t see any notification for this year extending the due-date.

The last date will be 31st January 2022, better to submit on time as there is no notification of extension at the moment.
