Which act should be applicable? We are a product development company in the field of solar?

Respected Seniors,

Good Afternoon!!!

I want to understand one thing - under which act does our company fall, the shop act or factories act? We are a product development company in the field of solar energy, and we are outsourcing our products from another company.

Please suggest.

Hi,

Since you are not manufacturing the product and as products are outsourced from another company (either kept for display or moved to customer place directly, which you have not mentioned), I think you should follow the Shops and Establishment Act.

Thank you, sir, for your support. We directly move the products to the customer end. We have only R&D, Sales & Marketing, and Store Purchase departments. So, is it fine to follow the Shops and Establishment Act?

Hi,

Yes, that is correct. Since there is no manufacturing process involved, only administrative work is being carried out.

Dear Sir,

To clarify further, we are outsourcing the manufacturing and testing jobs.

Dear Sir,

Please suggest the act.

Hi,

R&D - What type of research and development do you do?

We conduct research and development (R&D) in solar plant monitoring and control within the IoT domain.
