Hi Seniors,

I am really thankful to you for your valuable and informative contributions on this portal.

Can a person be a factory manager of two units if:
1. The Occupier is one of both units.
2. The company name is the same; only one is unit-I, and another is unit-II.
3. ESIC and EPF registration is the same for both companies.
4. Salary sheets are prepared separately for both units.
5. The company is located in Uttarakhand.

So, for the submission of the Annual Return of Factory Act (Form-21) for Unit-I and Unit-II, can the factory manager be the same?

Please explain.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Jagdish,

This is a common issue, and most of the retail sector is appointing managers - marketing for 02 or 03 states and paying the ESIC if they are eligible. PF and TDS are common.

You can pay his salary as follows: For example, 90,000/- for one month for Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai locations. If he is sitting in Bangalore location, you can show him in Bangalore location, and you need to pay all the statutory issues there itself. To show the budget of manpower, you can allocate 30k from each location.

I hope this helps clarify the payment structure for the managers across different locations.

Best regards,

Thank you, Ashok, for the immediate response. However, my company is located in Uttarakhand with both plants situated in Kashipur. One plant is on plot number 132, and the other is on plot 145. Interestingly, both plants share the same company name. As a result, the solution you provided cannot be implemented in this particular scenario.

Thanks, Jagdish

Your question is: Can an individual be nominated as a Factory Manager for two units under the Factories Act?

The answer is yes. The Act does not prohibit the nomination of the same person as Manager for more than one unit.

Dear team,

1. If there are two factory licenses, there should be two occupiers.
2. If the entry and exit to both the units are the same, there can be one occupier for both the plants.
3. When two factory licenses are obtained, you have to file two returns.
