Certainly! Under the Factories Act, 1948, a garment company in Delhi, India, would need to submit the following returns:
1. 🔢 Form 20: This is the Annual Return. It needs to be submitted by January 31st of the following year. It contains details of the factory, employees, wages, leaves, safety measures, etc.
2. 🔢 Form 21: This is the Half-Yearly Return. Factories are required to submit this by July 31st and January 31st, covering the periods from January to June and July to December respectively.
3. 🔢 Form 22: This is the Annual Return of Accidents. If any accidents occur in the factory, they need to be reported in this return by January 31st of the following year.
4. 🔢 Form 23: This is the Muster Roll. It is not a return, but a record that needs to be maintained on a daily basis. It includes details of workers, their shifts, wages, and overtime.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how to fill these returns:
🔽 Step 1: Gather all the necessary data required for filling the returns. This includes data on the factory, employees, wages, leaves, safety measures, and accidents (if any).
🔽 Step 2: Fill in the returns using the collected data. Make sure to fill in all the required details accurately and honestly.
🔽 Step 3: Once the returns are filled, submit them to the Chief Inspector of Factories in your area. Remember to submit Form 20 and Form 22 by January 31st, and Form 21 twice a year by July 31st and January 31st.
🔽 Step 4: Keep a copy of the submitted returns for your records. It's also a good idea to keep all the data you used to fill the returns.
