Dear Pooja,
There are no prescribed working hours for women workers. Even the Supreme Court allows "the women workers can work during the night shift also," but the employer can provide adequate safety/protection for women workers.

There are prescribed working hours for women in the Factories Act. However, it is also mentioned that if a woman worker extends her working hours, the employer needs to provide security measures, even for night shifts.

There is no specific working hours prescribed by SC for Women employees. As far as night shift’s are concerned they are asked to fill/ compile a 'voluntary declaration of night shift'.

Dear Pooja,
According to the Factory Act, working hours for women are the same as working hours for men, but the time period during which women workers are allowed to work is from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. In special conditions, they can be exempted. For this, the factory has to take prior permission from the appropriate government. However, in this case, no female worker is allowed to work between 10:00 P.M. to 5:00 A.M.
