Understanding Muster Roll Requirements: Do We Need to Include All Staff and Track Daily Hours?

As per the Minimum Wages Act of 1963, in our manufacturing electronic products organization, we have 10 staff members and 1 assembler.

My questions are:
1) Does every organization have to maintain a muster roll cum wages register in Form II?
2) Workers' names must be included in the muster, but is it compulsory to include all staff members' names in the Form II muster?
3) Since daily in-out timing records are not being kept, do we need to maintain another register for that?

Seniors, please suggest me.

Dear Shila,

The Minimum Wages Act is not of 1963; it is of 1948. If your unit is covered under this Act, please go through the definition of the employee for whom you are to keep the muster roll. If you are keeping the attendance of employees under this Act, then you are to keep the record as per the format as given under your State Minimum Wages Rules.
