PROFESSIONALS AND BUSINESSES PARTICIPATING IN DISCUSSION
Every company is bound to follow certain rules regarding engagement of employees. Accordingly, no employer shall allow the employees to work for more than 8 hours / 9 hours (if working for 5 days in a week) a day. If the number of hours per week exceeds 48 hours, the employees are entitled to be paid overtime wages at double the rate of wages.
But this is the situation with all companies where the workers are not united and their collective bargaining is absent. That does not mean that you should form a union and then bargain collectively but you can do it directly without forming a Union. You can resist to do overtime or demand extra payment for the work done over and above the scheduled time.

From the description given, it appears you are working in an office establishment and the Shops & Establishment Act applies. The endless working without any compensation for it is definitely against the law, the Labour Inspector is one authority who can effectively intervene in the matter, also the labour unions/trade unions can help in protecting your rights.
