Dear Aakriti, please go through the definition of the manufacturing process under the Factories Act, 1948, which is provided below for your ready reference. If you are employing 10 or more workers, including contractor workers, and are using power, then you are covered under this Act.
Definition of Manufacturing Process Under the Factories Act, 1948
Sec 2(k) "manufacturing process" means any process for:
- making, altering, repairing, ornamenting, finishing, packing, oiling, washing, cleaning, breaking up, demolishing, or otherwise treating or adapting any article or substance with a view to its use, sale, transport, delivery, or disposal; or
