HI,

If there is working 30 or more female employees creche should implement. If there is any private creach is locate nearby on your factory you can get an agreement with them, then you can approach Inspector of factory to get Exemption from Creach certificate.

Dear Mr. Nayan,

As per factories provision, If any company has 30 or more woman emploees, there should be a Crech.

Creche is mandatory for those Factories employing not less than 30 WOMEN workers. Here the age of the worker is not a matter. Even if the women employees all together have no child to be kept in the creche, it is compulsory to maintain it. The Plantations Labour Act is more specific in this respect. Under the PLA, creche is required where the number of women workers exceed 50 OR THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN OF women workers EXCEED 20.

Any way, have a creche just to avoid penalty.

Hello

I reproduce below Sec 48 of the Factories Act

48. Creches. -

(1) In every factory wherein more than [thirty women workers] are ordinarily employed there shall be provided and maintained a suitable room or rooms for the use of children under the age of six years of such women.

There are liberal interpreatation taken by different inspectors. I have come across with inspectors taking Married woman count and also age of the woman employees

They are more practical I cant give guarantee about legality

But if the age group of woman employee's children is above 6, you can take a stand that you do not need to have a creche.The law anticipates atleast 30 children to be maintained

Just examine the age group of woman employees' children We may get a reasonable solution to the problem. I can suggest a method
