Hi Jagdish,
This is common issue, and most of the retail sector are appointing the managers- marketing for 02 or 03 states and paying the esic if they are eligible, pf & tds is common,
1. you can pay the his salary as follows,
For ex: 90,000/- for one month for Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai locations.
if he is siting in Bangalore location you can show him in bang lore location and you need to pay all the statutory issues on their itself.
For showing the budget of manpower you can show like 30k from each location also.

Thanks Ashok for immediate response
But Sir my Company is in Uttarakhand and both Plant are in Kashipur one is in plot no 132 and another is in plot 145 and name is also same of the company so your solution cannot be executed in this situation
Thanks

Hi,
You can designate him to plants like cluster manager for two units,
and remaining are not to be change.

Your question is Can an individual be nominated as Factory Manager for two units under the Factories Act?
The answer is yes. The Act does not prohibit nomination of the same person as Manager for more than one unit

dear team,
1. if there are two factory licences, there should be two ocupiers
2. if the entry and exit to both the units are same, there can be one occupier for both the plants
3. when two factory licences are obtained, you have to file two returns

Thanks Sivasankaran
But My Consultant is saying one cannot be a factory manager for two units.
According to you if Yes
Plz explain How can be ...........

Dear Sir
Factory License is separate for both the unit and entry and exit is also not same but occupier is same.

Just check the previous returns ,for the reference and proceed along with that., and consult with the concerned departments for further details.

hai ,
You can nominate one manager for two units as the PF & ESI No. is same for the both units, you can proceed further with the same manger name for two units,
Thanks,
