can women workmen be put on overtime ? Does the Indian Factories Act allow for this or should we take exemption for keeping women workmen on overtime ?

Dear Nagraj,
As per Section 56 is allowed for Over time for adult, you need to ensure that, to whom asked to work over time all females should be adult.
As well as Section 66 is restriction on employment of women during 6 a.m. to 7p.m. so, you need to ensure this also before asking to work overt time.

Dear BA Nagaraj,
To the point answers to you are as under:
There is no provision in FA saying you can not put women workmen on overtime. However, overtime is subject to rules as prescribed.
Since there is no provision in FA restricting women workmen, there is no need to take exemption for keeping women workmen on overtime. However, you should ensure safety of women.

Dear Nagaraj, In addition, you have to keep in mind the provision under section 66 of FA restricting employment of women, as stated by Cristopher & Tushar.

Dear All,
A piece of information I would like to share with you as under:
The Gujrat HC has held that women can be employed in night shift and the provision in FA which bars it is unconstitutionals. Section 66(1)(b) prohibits industrial units from employing women from 7 pm to 6 am. The division bench of Chief Justice Bhaskar Bhattacharya and Justice JB Pardiwala said the section is in breach of fundamental rights under Article 14 (right to equality) and 21 (right to life & liberty), so it is invalid. (Ref. Current Labour Scenario, LLR Jan 14).
