Hi, I am working in Chemical Company as Executive -HR &Admin. We have company staff & worker is around 150 and we have obtained for 250 strength in factory license , in such case can we issue form V to Contractors for more than the factory strength for e.g 300 even if we regular maintain the strength should not go beyond on any more than 250 . so can we put 300 strength in company labour lincense even if we are not crossing the limit of 250 on any day as per strength.

The Factory licence is for 250 workers. Then how can you engage 300 workers through contractor(s) when the total employees would become 450 including the on roll workers?
The Factory licence is issued with reference to two parameters, ie, number of workers and power installed, right? When the number of workers given in the licence is 250, it is expected that the factory will be using power required for working by 250 workers. When the number of workers increase, the power will also increase to a certain extent. It cannot be argued that your contract workers will not utilise power or capacity utilisation would not increase. Certainly, if the additional manpower is put in another unit or unit owned by the contractor himself, there is no issue. Other wise, ie, if the addition manpower from the contractor is put in the same factory with which the number of employees would cross 250, then it will be a problem.

In addition, please remember that workmen on weekly off and on leave are also counted by the labour inspector in the number of workers employed

Dear Madhu T.K. Please clarify your line. If there is an another factory named xyz company and it is your next unit and your last unit having named abc company having license 250 and xyz having license 200 while xyz have employed 100 employee can you consider employment of 100 manpower of abc company in xyz company premises.

You mean there are two factories, XYZ and ABC and both they have licence to engage 200 and 250 workers respectively. If ABC is employing workers in XYZ and getting things done from the premises of XYZ, there is no issue with regard to Factories Act because XYZ has a licence to engage 200 workers and for them so far as health safely and welfare measures are complied with in XYZ, they can do the work of any other company. They need not look into whether these workers are doing the work of another company, ABC, or not. The Factory inspector is concerned only with safety, welfare and health of workers in the respective company. For whom they work is immaterial.
