Since the Act was enacted in 1996 and was applicable to the whole of India with effect from 1st March 1996, it automatically gets extended to the State of Chhattisgarh from the date of formation of the State, i.e., from November 1, 2000.

For the implementation of an Act, rules are must. The rule making power has been entrusted by the Parliament to the State Government vide Section 62 of the BOCW Act. However, the Cess Rules had already been enacted by the Central Govt. Normally, the States have implemented the Acts from the date of the notification of their rules under the BOCW Act. The Cess Act can not be implemented without having constituted a Board which is constituted only under the BOCW rules. Hence, look for the date of implementation of the BOCW Act and Cess Act in the State of Chhatisgarh.
