According to the Factories Act 1948, Chapter V, Section 46:

The State Government may make rules requiring that in any specified factory wherein more than two hundred and fifty workers are ordinarily employed, a canteen or canteens shall be provided and maintained by the occupier for the use of the workers.

If there are no specified rules made by the state government, under those circumstances, what is the applicability.
