Maximum working hours per day as per indian labour law

9 hours out of which 1 hour shall be g=for rest and in the given circumstances various actions can be initiated against such employer including the complaint to the labour inspactor of the area and the punishments under Indian Labour Law against such violation are sever in nature wihich may even go upto closure of the unit if it do not follow the rules.

It is  8 hours not 9 hous as per the provisions of Minimum wages Act.

Both my Ld. colleagues Mr. Makkad and Mr. Ramdas are correct. Mr. Makkad has righly included the rest hour in between the 8 hours. i.e. 4hours + 1 hour break + 4 hours.

EIGHT HOURS IS MAXIMUM WORKING HOURS PER DAY.

Eight hour is maximum  working hours per day as per minimum wages act.

If it is a manufacturing unit ,a factory under the factories Act, than the amximum working hours is 9 hours . further it may please be noted that no person is allowed to work for more than 5 hours at a stretch without giving a break of half an hour.

Maximum working hours are eight hours for offices and nine hours for factories. Half an hour break is given in cases of office staff and one hour break is given in case of factories workers as per law.

8 working hour means - 8 hours working, which not inclusive of lunch time and tea breaks

Dear Mr. Kapil,

your question is vary open ended.

its reply can be a thises covering not less then 5 acts. please note all my coligues have replied correctly.

if you want to know your real answer; nerrow down your question.

My organisation is a leading telecom vendor in india, but its a chinese company. Off late the employees are made to work over 60-70 hours per week without any holidays for 20 days at a stretch and no extra compensation.Wat possible actions could be taken against the company and wat is the right way to go about it? please advice.

As far as Haryana state is concerned all the organisation except Retailing shops may be opened for 24 hours, but no employee will be allowed to work in those organisation more than 8 hours excluding breaks.

If any employer/ establishment/ organisation violates the above, they are liable for penal action.
