Hi Soma Saha,

The work hours, rest intervals, spread overs are governed by the Shops and Establishments Act of the States, and if it is a factory setup then it will be as per the respective state factory rules.

The reasonable industry practice is a lunch break of 30 or 45 or 60 minutes.

For quick reference of the Shops & Establishments Act of various states, you may refer to Shops and Establishments Acts & Rules for Indian States.
