Sir,
As per Factories Act No child under 14 year shall be allowed to work.The company should obtain a fitness certifiacte to employ adolescent (between 14 to 18) from a certifing surgen.The same is applicable under shops and establishment also.
The employer who employ a child labour shall liable for fine or 3 years imprisonment.
