The Factory Act 1948 is enacted by the Parliament and is in force throughout India. However, each state has framed its own rules under the Factories Act in exercise of the power granted to it by the Act. The rules are largely similar, with minor variations like registration fees or amenities, etc. These rules prescribe the procedure for implementing the provisions of the Act. Therefore, you may have to refer to your state rules with reference to the main provisions of the Act.

As per the Indian Constitution, labor is a subject in the concurrent list where both the Central and State Governments are competent to enact legislation. Accordingly, the Factories Act was enacted by the Parliament in 1948, which provides occupational health and safety provisions for the workers. Based on the Act, each state government has made its rules with slight modifications as per their requirements. The state rules are in line with the Factories Act and are to be followed by the factories in the state.

I agree with AY Sundkar along with one more point, which is the regulation of working hours, i.e., safety, health, and welfare of the workforce. The Act provides the outline ideas, but the rules are made with intensive subject matter.
