Again, the Bombay Reorganisation Act, 1960 was passed which came into force from I st May, 1960, a new State of Gujarat was formed and the residuary State of Bombay continued under the name of Maharashtra. While all changes came into force, the old short titled to the Act, continued with the word "Bombay" at the beginning. The reasoning for unchanged short title of Act "Bombay" was that the specific Act with the old short title should not loose its identity and will be easier to locate and for the purpose of interpreting other Acts.But with the passage of time, the short titles of these important Acts have become out of date and prima facie, inappropriate for citation, Therefore, following group of Acts have been made brought up to date with the deletion of the short title "Bombay" and the year of enactment.i) The Bombay Contingency Fund Act, 1956. ii) The Bombay Legislative Council (Chairman and Deputy Chair man) and the Bombay Legislative Assembly (Speaker and Deputy Speaker) Salaries and Allowances Act, 1956. iii) The Bombay Ministers' Salaries and Allowances Act, 1956. iv) The Bombay Legislature Members' Salaries and Allowances Act 1956.
