Women's Work Hours in Non-IT Sectors: Can They Work After 8 PM in Karnataka?

Hi All,

I have a confusion about the work timing for women who are employed in any sector other than IT, where the rules govern that after 8 pm they are not allowed to work. Can anyone solve the doubt? What are the necessary requirements to employ women after 8 pm, until 10 pm? Is there any amendment in this regard?

See this section :-
Section 25. Prohibition of employment of women and young persons during night.—No woman, or a young person, shall be required or allowed to work whether as an employee or otherwise in any establishment during night:
“night” means a period of at least twelve consecutive hours which shall include the interval between 8 P.M. and 6 A.M.;
