Hai,

As far as BPO companies are concerned they are more informal and they (BPO companies) want their employees to be very social. That is the reason you can see most of the employees wear sleeveless tops & jeans not only during weekends but also regular days.

The second question is whether a company can impose dress code by force ?

Normally it is the company can frame rules & regulations, HR policies regarding dress code and other things. If the company thinks it can restrict then they can do so or else let free. Since most of the MNC companies are entering into to indian market so they won't take much care about the dress code and other small matters.

Your third question whether it hurts individual liberty or not?

NO. IT BECOMES A CASUAL ONE. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ALSO WEAR SLEEVELESS TOPS & JEANS.

When you work in BPO companies/IT related companies it is a casual one and also chating, discussing, outing, etc., etc., etc., is also happening in each BPO/IT companies. The above said things are seen and observed and some of the things were heard through my friends. YOU ARE NOW DISCUSSING ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY but apart from dress there are lot of this going beyond the control of company and ultimately the concerned employee would be sacked out immediately.

YOUR FOURTH QUESTION "whether it is legally tenable"?

NO. CANNOT

From India
No employer wants to see employees walking in Chappal and Dhotu Kurta do they?
All of companies do have a dress code whether casual or formal. In India no one is strict about it as we don't have any respect for it and we get easilu hurt if told to follow any such rules.
However in foreign companies they follow dress code irrespective of dress code policy.

Hi everyone
Dress code /attire varies from company to company. It heavily depends on the industry, clients & the local culture.
Eg: In most of the IT companies & BPOs in India the acceptable attire is business casuals which does not include sneakers, jeans & chappals. However in overseas IT companies the acceptable attire is again business casuals but includes jeans, 'thongs' etc. Similarly in a factory environment the dress code keeps in mind the security of the individual as well as the mind set of majority of the workforce. Which is quite similar to the service industry where it is formal clothing through & through.

dress code is varry on the basis of the organizations. eachn organizations have thier own policy

here you can know the commomn dress code

For Men



Traditional business attire means a dark, conservative suit and a white, long-sleeved (even in summer), pressed dress shirt.

Ties should be silk and coordinate well with the suit. Avoid flashy patterns on ties-the job interview isn't the time to prove how much of an individualist you are. If you wear an earring (or several), remove it before the interview.

For Women

Traditional business attire is a conservative suit or dress-those thigh-high skirt lengths alá Melrose Place won't cut it in the real business world.

Avoid wearing jewelry and makeup that are showy or distracting.

Forget the excessively long fingernails-they, too, are distracting. If you wear nail polish, make sure it's a subtle color and neatly done.

For Everyone

Avoid wearing too much cologne or perfume.

Your hair should be clean and well-groomed.

Shoes should be polished and coordinate with your suit or dress. An interview isn't a beauty contest, but how you dress and your overall appearance almost always get noticed by the interviewer. Don't give the interviewer a chance to rule you out because you didn't feel like ironing your shirt or polishing your shoes. Dress in a business-like, professional manner, and you'll be sure to fit in wherever you interview.
