Understanding Factory Act Returns: How Many Does a Manufacturing Company Need to File?

Hello,

Please help me with the Factory Act-related returns. How many returns need to be filled out in the Factory Act for a manufacturing company? 😕

There are 3 returns filed by the employer in the Factories Act 1948:

1. Annual return in Form 21
2. Half-yearly return in Form 22
3. Monthly accident return on dangerous happenings to be submitted by the 1st week of February in Form 31.

Thanks and Regards,
Vikas
