Dear Mr. Prajapatihrd,
As per the Factories Act provisions, OT is restricted to 50 hours / Quarter .
For details , pls refer the OT provisions of the said Act.
Thanks,
Anil Sharma

In a week a workman can work for max 60 hrs including overtime. but in a quarter overtime hours is restricted to 50 hrs. employer cannot engage them more than 48 hrs in a week or 9 hrs in a day..
now it's up to you. if a worker has worked for 60 hrs in a week that means (60-48)=12 OT has been used by that worker. so for the rest of the 2 months and 3 week he can use overtime hours max (50-12)=38 hours.
i hope it is clear to you..

Dear Friends,
Just to state as an additional information, this week only the cabinet has approved a proposal to doubling the overtime limit.

The OT limit is prescribed for those who are exempted under sec 64 & 65 ,not for all workers.

Mr. Varghese,
Kindly change your reply procedure, you are here to answer the query, instead of doing that you are telling him to find himself.
If he could have done that then why he need to post a query..........
kindly answer the query if you cant then don't tell others what to do
Mr Sakshan has given proper reply seniors like you should learn something from juniors.

Yes, quoting just section or rules of any act is not advisable and expected. One should briefly respond to the query to the extent he is sure and confident.
At present the restriction is 50 hours per quarters but in the state of Himachal Pradesh it is 48 hours in the rules.
