The law is same for all, PSU or private.
It says (for factory) no person shall be asked or allowed to work for more than 9 hours a day or 48 hours a week.
There is a provision for overtime that actually contradicts the above provision. But the above is the law. All shop and establishment acts have the same provision too.
Whether to do overtime or not is the choice of the employee.
However, the standing orders provide that for a continuous plant where reliever has not come, or is late, or in case of emergency (machine breakdown, etc) the employee is required to stay back and do the work.
However, if you do not agree to do the overtime, the employer does not want you. They will either remove you, or move you to unwanted section, not give increments or good reviews. Even in PSU it can become a problem.
Only for managers, persons listed under Sec 64 of factories act, the restriction of linger hours do not apply

Dear Saswata Banarjee,
I'am saying exclusively for the managers of the PSUs who are guided by CDA rules and not by standing orders. They does not have any fixed duty hours but rather forced to do from minimum 8 hrs to 16 hrs duty without any extra remuneration.Is there any ILO, Human Rights convention or any court decision about this?

""I am giving my resignation to the present company and searching for other jobs.""
Advice about working hours has already been given by other learned members.
Now my advice-stay on the job and start looking around for alternate job.
Or at least build a reserve of at least 3 months salary and then quit while looking for jobs.
This reserve of cash will help you to survive till you get a job.
There are far too many employers who exploit their employees.
So do your checks before joining the next employer.
Your attitude of helping others is good.
This quote about attitudes is worth remembering

Everywhere, managers work long hours.
8 hours is normal duty hours. why will there be any restriction or court order on that ?
16 hours work ..... some times all managers do it, but no manager does it every day. if he was working 16 hours every day, which is a double shift, he would not have time to even go home eat and sleep. even CDA rules (i have not read it) will have provisions against it.
There is always the Central Administrative Tribunal to whom a PSU manager can make a complaint if he feels that he is been made to work long hours.
But I have not seen PSU managers working 16 hours a day every day. Many of them dont even work normal 8 hours. yeas they are in office, but not working like what most private company managers are doing

Agreed with Mr.Banarjee. In our conduct discipline and appeal (CDA) rules, it is mentioned that an executive is either on duty or on leave. Hence it is being said that an executive should made himself available for 24 hours(literally) when he is not on leave. I've heard some where that ILO prohibit working more than 8hours until the person desire so.

ILO is a toothless tiger.
It's an advisory body, at best a pressure group.
Don't lay too much stress on their views when you are looking for legal tools to fight for your rights.
Their views are good reference point when you are the employer trying to decide your policies and what to be bench mark with the best.
