The shift timing is 8 hours for a circular shift covering 24 hours, you need to give break of half an hour in 8 hours itself. this is as per factories act under the clause prohibition of overlapping of shifts hence you can have 6 to 2pm; 2pm to 10pm and 10pm to 6am which is ideal in all its convenience.

Hi Kamal Saini,
Mr Jagat Kumar's views would have satisfied your query.
Generally specific lunch time is given only for GENERAL SHIFT that starts at 8 AM or 9 AM.
The practice that is prevalent in people going for lunch or dinner is on a mutually understood
relay activity. For short periods one technician/ operator goes for the meal while his other
colleague on duty additionally covers his spot also.
As far as dividing 24 hours in eight hours is concerned, some even start at 7 or 8 AM
adding 8 hours thrice from the start time to create three shifts.
