1. Have you checked the Gujarat Rules ? Is there a provision in that for exemption from setting up a creche
2. Have you taken up the matter with the factory inspector or the deputy commissioner of labour about this ? They can also give you a waiver. I am told the Gujarat Labour Dept is very practical in their approach

Dear friends,

I don't know whether I'm right or wrong. I'm very curious to discuss the following two observations of Mr.Mansinh and "Sa-fety" combining together the excerpts of their posts are as follows:

Subject - Re: Query about section 48 of factories act 1948

No I don't want to claim against the factory but I want to claim against law because we have more than 30 female working in our organisation but they all are unmarried so why should I start creches facility which is totally useless thing for our company? I can spend those money by providing some other welfare activity rather than investing it in creches house."

" 48. Creches.-(1) In every factory wherein more than '[thirty women workers] are ordinarily employed there shall be provided and maintained a suitable room

or rooms for the use of children-under the /age of six years of such women. "

Mansinh says they are "all unmarried women" and the Act says "children of such women", then does it mean the employer should ensure children who are supposed to use the creches should be children of such women only ?

Pl.don't read inbetween lines, I think Mansinh raised a valid point.

Hello Dear Mansinh,
Oh common yar, it appears that you do plan only for a shorter period, say for a week, or a month or maximum for a year. How dare you to think that your women employees never get married and don't bear children the next year or thereafter. Look beyond one year as well boss. A creche cannot get wasted atlease in India. That too India is not China, no limits (qty. & quality-age prescribed for bearing children) no age limit to give birth (of course there is age limit to get married, am I correct pal ?.So be prepared to provide a creche now itself to counter the Inspector.

Under the central rules, the following exemption is provided for creche. You need to check if Gujarat has the same exemption :
100.Exemption from the provision of creche.-
Rule
pres- (1) In factories where the number of married women or widows cribedunder employed does not exceed 15 or where the factory works for less section 50 read than 180 days in a calendar year, or where number of children withsectionkept in the creche was less than 5 in the preceeding year, the Chief Inspector may exempt such factories from the provisions of section 48 and the rules 92 to 95 made thereunder, if he is satisfied that alternate arrangements as stipulated under sub-rule (2) are provided by the factory.

It is compulsory because it has nothing to do with their present marital status as any female may get married any time and can have baby.
