Dear Sewal,

Both are different. The Factory Act covers manufacturing establishments, whereas the Shops & Establishment Act covers any shop or establishment where 10 or more employees are working.

Hope this solves your query.

Thanks,

Factories Act is applicable to any premises where a manufacturing process, such as making articles, polishing articles, repairing them, or converting any raw material into a finished product, is carried out, and employs 10 or more workers in such a manufacturing process if power is used in such manufacturing process or 20 or more if no power is used. Whereas, the Shops and Establishments Act is applicable to any premises where only trading and commercial activities are carried out, but no manufacturing activity is conducted. Thus, the Factories Act cannot cover a shop, and the Shops Act cannot cover a factory.
