Rejoice , You , Self - Employed !

There is good news for the Self Employed in Maharashtra

As per a news report appearing in Times of India ( 15 May 2016 ) , Maharashtra Government is preparing a list of the " types " of Self Employed , who will NOT require any kind of Registration / Permission from any government department , to set themselves up in a " Business "

Following is a " tentative " list :

*  Consultancies ( real estate / taxation )

*  Running a library from home

*  Home-made food service or bakery

*  Trainers for sports , dance , yoga , singing and cooking activities

*  IT-related activities

*  Terrace farming

*  Event Management , translation and publication

*  Jewellery , ornaments, precious stones and boutique

*  Tour Management and guidance or offering home-stay

*  Delivery of grocery, flowers and vegetables

*  Automobile Repairing

Chief Secretary , Shri Swadheen Kshatriya , has invited suggestions from public , for additional trades / professions to be included

Here are my suggestions :

Accountants Actors Agents Animators Artists	Beauticians Bookkeepers Brokers	Cooks Counselors Carpenters Chauffeurs Composers Consultants Correspondents	Dancers Designers Detectives Developers (S/W) Drivers Dress Designers
Electricians Engineers Entertainers	Fabricators Farmers Fishermen Florists	Goldsmiths	Hairdressers Housemaids Housekeepers
Income Tax Advisors Instructors Insurance Agents Interior Designers Interpreters	Jewellers  Journalists	Lobbyists Locksmiths	Models Magicians Music Directors Musicians Management Consultants Marketing Consultants Marriage counselors Mechanics Mediators Midwives
Nannies Nurses	Occupational Counselors Opticians	Painters Paramedics  Personal Trainers  Photographers Physiotherapists  Players (Sports) Playwrights Plumbers Producers	Real Estate Agents Recruiters Referees Repairers (All Types) Reporters Rickshaw Drivers
Sales Agent Sculptors Singers Social Workers Songwriters Specialists (All types) Street vendors	Travel Agents Tutors Typists Tailors Teachers Therapists Tour Guides	Umpires Undertakers Upholsterers	Vendors Videographers  Vocational Counselors
Watch Repairers Water-proofers Weavers Web Designers Web Developers Wedding Planners Wholesalers Writers

I have no doubt , very soon , this  FANTASTIC  INITIATIVE  of Maharashtra Government will get copied by all other States

Message from Maharashtra is loud and clear :

If the State cannot create millions of jobs , the least it can do is to " Get Out of the Way " of those wanting to be Self Employed
