I would like to request an update on my query. We have an offset book printing unit in New Delhi and would like to operate in two shifts: 8 AM - 4 PM and 10 PM - 6 AM. Do we need to obtain permission from any government authorities or complete any formalities before implementing this rule?

Any manufacturing company has to inform the government authorities about the following:

1. Change in the timing of any shifts
2. Addition/deletion of any shifts
3. Change in weekly holidays
4. Changes in extra working days
5. List of paid holidays issued for the current year.

In your case, no permission needs to be taken, but I suggest that you should issue a circular with a CC to the Labour Commissioner, stating the change or addition of the second shift in your company. This circular can be sent to the Labour Commissioner just to inform them. This will prevent you from receiving any negative remarks during the visit of the Factory Inspector.

Ankit Chaturvedi has given the apt suggestions. However, given the current social security scenario, please also check out the permissions aspect if you have any female staff working during the night shifts.
