Please also check the following before deciding on any policy:
i) If your organization provides a drop facility (transporting employees to their homes) using company-provided vehicles after a specified hour, such as after 8/9 p.m.
ii) If your organization provides any other type of incentive, such as reimbursement for dinner, dinner/late sitting allowance, etc.
If this is the case, you may need to reconsider how you identify employees who are genuinely working late versus those who may stay late for the sake of these incentives, in addition to the suggestions made by Mr. Dinesh Divekar.

Draft as follows:
The Company's normal working hours are 9:30 am to 5:30 pm from Mondays to Saturday, and Sundays are weekly offs in addition to paid holidays as declared by the Company.
In case of late sitting on working days:
The office will be open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm only. Employees are expected to complete their work during the normal working hours. If any employee wishes to work beyond 5:30 pm, he/she will be allowed to work up to 7:00 pm without any specific permission. Any employee wanting to work beyond 7:00 pm will be allowed as an exception, provided a written approval is obtained stating the reason for such late sitting from Sir. However, this cannot go beyond 9:00 pm.

I think sitting late to the office shows your inefficiency to perform within the given time. Always remember in cricket, in the 50-over format, the team needs to bowl in 3 hours and 30 minutes. In Test cricket, in one day, they need to complete 90 overs; otherwise, there is a fine.
The same should follow in every organization, as time is money. HR should take care of employees sitting late because it also increases overhead costs like electricity, water, maintenance, tea, coffee, and common maintenance if there is a lift (because if a group of people sit late in the office, they likely take smoking breaks using the lift).
Employees who sit late in the office also create the following problems:
1) They come late to the office, and if HR asks them about their tardiness, they immediately respond: "When I sit late for up to 2 hours after working hours and finish my tasks, you do not appreciate me. And now, just 10 minutes late, and you point fingers at me?" They also discuss with their colleagues, making it very challenging for HR to implement HR policies.

Hi,
Accordingly, if employees stay overtime, it may be due to their workload or the need to meet deadlines. However, staying long hours after duty every day is a waste of resources such as water and electricity. This behavior is often an attempt to show dedication and performance but can actually indicate a failure in time management. Employees who consistently work late may struggle to complete tasks on time, demonstrating underperformance.
In many companies, employees work extended hours, which not only wastes company resources but also affects the well-being of the employees themselves.
Thanks and regards,
