dear Trivedi,
As per Section 7 of the Factories Act,1948, you are required to give a written notice to the Chief inspector of factories at least 15 before start using any premises, as a factory, containing the following information:-
(1) the name and situation of factory ;
(2) the name and address of the occupier ;
(3) the name and address of the owner of the premises or building (including the precincts thereof) ;
(4) the address to which communications relating to factory may be sent ;
(5) the nature of the manufacturing process to be carried on in the factory during the next twelve months ;
(6) the total rated horse power installed or to be installed in the factory,
(7) the name of the manager of the factory for the purposes of this Act ;
(8) the number of workers likely to be employed in the factory ;
(9) such other particulars as may be prescribed.
Your attention is drawn to S.no.8 relating to the number of workers likely to be employed in the factory.Since you are starting a factory,where there is always a chance of employing more workers.In view of the fact that the corresponding total rated horse power installed is 600 H.P in the factory, I suggest you to go for obtaining a licence for at least 20 number of workers to start with.
