Hi Sh Ram K Navaratna,
Thank you very much for sharing the proposal for amendments in the Factories Act, 1948. We need to update ourselves from time to time, and CiteHR has been proven to be a link doing excellent work in this direction. I have downloaded the same, and when time permits, I shall go through those amendments.
Thanks once again.

Dear Sh Ram K Navaratna,
In further reference to my mail,I have come across an important newspaper clipping appeared in yesterday’s Hindustan Times.(copy attached)
The Ministry of Labour & Employment is in process to launch an unified web portal as platform for reporting inspections, submission of statutory returns, redressal of grievances etc. in order to fulfill the Govt’s promise to review the outdated labour laws as promised in their election manifesto. In their first such step, they have issued an office memorandum, the copy of which you have already attached with your mail dated 18th June 2014.

Dear All,
I am coming up with the following post after a very long time. In fact, I am too busy with various project activities in addition to EHS responsibilities. However, I would like to inform all the members that I was invited and have attended the inaugural function of a 3-day conference of Chief Inspector of Factories. The Honorable Labour Minister of Maharashtra has inaugurated the same. The Ministry of Labour and DGFASLI have invited suggestions and comments on the proposed changes in the Factories Act as the forum is open for public hearing.
If you have any suggestions/comments, you can post them on the DGFASLI website. Additionally, you can also share them on this forum so that I can take them up with the DGFASLI and Director DISH Maharashtra. I am going to suggest increasing the limit of 48 hours' leave in case of a reportable accident to one week (although not proposed in the current amendments). This is an opportunity for all of us to contribute.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudhir

To
Ministry of Department of Labor and Employment,
The proposed 2014 amendment is good, but before that, there is a need to enhance the total departments accrued in the current environment.
The acts are very old. Kindly collect all the existing departments and segregate the labor departments, defining what the term "labor" exactly means.
All individuals working for pay, whether hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly, or for 5 years, etc., will be considered as labor according to the labor department. However, there is a need for segregation based on various factors, including payments made to them.
This will help in reducing differentiation, and proposals can be made accordingly.
Making vague amendments by simply adding a few more facilities or removing them from the age-old labor statistics does not resolve the issue but rather complicates the problems.
It is important to clearly distinguish the sectors based on duration and wage for all the laborers, provided upon approval from various heads during their department meetings and approvals.
Meanwhile, we will review the amendments made.

Dear Members,
I want to share an important newspaper clipping with the members, which appeared in the Economic Times dated June 26, 2014. The government is proposing to have a general overall review of labor laws, thereby encouraging employers to hire more employees without having to comply with the labor law requirements. Another important issue relates to an amendment in the Employees' Provident Funds Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, proposing to reduce the coverage ceiling from twenty persons to ten, in line with the ESI Act.
A copy of the news clipping is attached herewith for the information of the members.

Dear Sir,
I wanted to inform you that previously we were maintaining 26 registers under the Factory Act in Punjab. I have recently discovered that amendments have been made, and now only a few registers are required to be maintained.
Could you please assist me in understanding which registers need to be maintained in the future?
Thank you,
