dear deepali
you are working in a manufacturing and you have to maintain all records as per the different acts maually like attendance register ,salary register,leave record etc but
the same movement tou can maintain the record electronically and in that case you have to take permission from director of factories/chief inspector of factories.
you have to send one copy of each format to him with a letter that you want to maintain record electronically than he will issue a permission to maintain recrord electronically.
