Thank you all for your replies

The new labour code is not yet implemented. Draft rules for the codes are published by majority of states.

Legal working hours differ, act-wise and state-wise in India. However, in general, it is 8-9 hrs a day and 48 hrs a week. Blue collar staff is eligible for overtime. But most legislations exempt supervisors/managers from the purview of work hours and overtime. So in general white-collar staff are not entitled to overtime even in a factory environment or in shops and commercial establishments.
For the construction industry, Building and construction workers rules (State-specific) matter. In general, 9 hrs a day and 48 hrs a week + Overtime based on set criteria.

Our Payroll Vendor mentioned that New labor is coming into effect from Oct 2022. Can you please confirm if this already approved & to be implemented. I tried checking news, there is no mention of this.

Hi Sree,
I am going back to this discussion we had about the official working hours for India.
We are implementing the 9 hours (inclusive of 1 hour break) - however 1 manager mentioned that is has to be 12 hours for the operations team - is this as per the law in India?
Thank you in advance.

You are right, 9 hrs is legal.
12 hrs is not yet legalised. Probably the person is referring to 4 day work week (not sure how many organizations wil go for it and certainly not going to be feasible in many industries).
Wherever more than 9-10 hours are in practice, they may be following overtime adjustment or split shifts (for example, showrooms ( staff are deployed from 9 - 9 but in some shops (textile/garments, off season, there won’t be customers from 1 - 4 and some large shops give break hours to staff, for spme staff in hotels, split shift is followed)

Dear Sree,
Thanks for the confirmation.
Is the new labor law already implemented in Karnataka? Coz last discussion was that it was still awaiting implementation.
