As per the act, it states 8 hours or 48 hours of work per week. Is this working time inclusive of breaks or exclusive of breaks for a manufacturing factory in Uttar Pradesh? In which act and rules is this defined? Please provide clarification.
It is working hours; it does not include breaks. You can also find it in the Factory Act. The section-wise input is written herein below:
Working Hours Regulations

No adult worker shall be required or allowed to work in a factory for more than nine hours in any working day. The daily maximum may be exceeded with the previous approval of the Chief Inspector to facilitate a change of shifts. (Sec. 54)
