A.Working Hours in India: As per the Factories Act 1948, every adult (a person who has completed 18 years of age) cannot work for more than 48 hours in a week and not more than 9 hours in a day. According to Section 51 of the Act, the spread over should not exceed 10-1/2 hours.

According to ILO Conventions 1 and 30, the standard or normal working hours should not exceed forty-eight hours in a week and eight hours in a day. Convention 01 is applicable to the industrial undertakings which include among others mines, quarries and other processes for extractions of minerals, construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, railways, telephone installations, gas works, transport services, etc. On the other hand, Convention 30 covers those employees, which are engaged in commerce sector and administrative activities/office work. (Plus 30 min of break in India)
