Dear Sir / Madam,

As the Owner of the shop, only you will decide whether to keep your shop open or closed and the Society has not right to force you to keep your shop closed on any day. The Society has no right to impose such a penalty. It was a prevalent customary practice earlier that shops in each and every town and locality in Mumbai remained closed on a particular day of the week. That practice has been abolished since 1975 all over Mumbai and you are free to keep your shop open 24/7 for all the days in the calender year.

Regards,
