I am currently running our company on a shop and establishment act. I have 100 Hp of power and 6 staff (Sales, Accountant, Production manager, Design engineer etc) with 12 laborers. We deal with sheet metal fabrication.
1) Should I switch over to the factory license from Shop and Establishment license.
2) Are there any benefits attached to a factory license?

Please refer below:
As per Factories Act " Factory is defined in Section 2(m) of the Act. It means any premises including the precincts thereof-
Whereon ten or more workers are working, or were working on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on with the aid of power, or is ordinarily so carried on; or
Whereon twenty or more workers are working, or were working on any day of the preceding twelvemonths, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on without the aid of power, or is ordinarily so carried on.
An important necessity for any premises to be regarded as a ‘factory’ is, that a “manufacturing process” should be conducted within the premises. According to section 2(k) defines manufacturing process as:- “Manufacturing process” means process for –(i) Making, altering, repairing, oiling, washing, cleaning, ornamenting, finishing, packing, breaking up, or otherwise treating or adapting any article or substance with a view to its use, sale transport, delivery or disposal.

Dear Jgs2ban,
It seems, you are from Pune- Maharashtra.
In Maharashtra, Factory Act is applicable when you engage 20 or more persons and manufacturing process is carried out in the your fabrication workshop / premises / precinct, with the aid of power.
You do not have 20 and more persons employed in the your fabrication workshop / premises / precinct. Therefore, the provisions of Factory Act are not applicable to you.
