Dear Sir, Please guide me if staff performs 12 hrs. of duty in a day and do 2 days and 2 nights in the week, and the company gives them 2 days off. Is this correct? If not, then please suggest to me how many days off as per the rules given to the staff after the above duty.

It is not the days of off but the hours per day which is the issue. You cannot allow or require an employee to work for more than 10 hours under any circumstance. Normally, it is 8 hours, but if you have 2 days off in a week, and out of five days, the total hours should never be 48 hours. Then under nay circumstance the number of hours per day can be 12 hours. The proposal of four days working by requiring the employees to work for 12 hours in a day is only in paper.

What industry are you in?
12 hour shifts are only allowed in certain work like in a hospital or any place where there is an emergency.
Other than hospitals, to the best of my knowledge, there is no place where 12 hour shifts are allowed.
As an exception, certain persons (mainly in maintenance) may be allowed to work 12 hours as it is not possible to leave maintenance work halfway. But for that, they must be listed in Sec 68 of Factories act (and the relevant rules) and noted in the relevant registers. But that also, is an exception and it can not be made into a continuous 12 hour shift working.
Incidentally, when working 12 hours in a day, 4 hours will be at double rate overtime (double of gross, not double of basic)

I don't think that even in hospitals and hospitality sector where system of 7X24 is available, the employees can work for 12 hours on a permanent basis. In such cases, the employer is expected to deploy people on 3 shifts of 8 hours each. Similarly, though the Act has permitted engagement of workers for additional work to carry out emergency repairs, the same will not happen on a regular basis but it is confined only to 'emergency' repairs. Urgent repair work will arise accidently or occasionally and not very often. It does not also mean that an establishment engaged in the operation of conducting "repairs and maintenance" need not follow the provisions relating to hours of work.
