The Factories (amendment) bill, 2005 was presented before the Parliament on 16th Aug 2005 to amend section 66 of the factories Act, 1948.
On 30th August 2007, the Union Cabinet approved the amendment in the Factories Act paving the way for women employees to work in late night shifts. This amendment provides flexibility in the matter of employment of women during night hours between the hours of 7 P.M. and 6 A.M.

Mr.Prasoon
The Press Information Bureau release in the link provided by you only says that there was only a decison to amend Sec.66 of the factories Act but does not say that Sec.66 has been amended. Sec.66 is still there in the Factories Act in it's unamended form. Can you throw further light on this?

Hi, Its quite good to see the changes in the attitude shown by women at the working areas wherever they have been deployed.
The systematic and dedication is really a question for the male staffs who are struggling merely for consistency.
But, by nature women have hurdles like child-birth and that should be considered by the employers.
Deploying married women should be restricted or avoided because the women take care on their kids than men do.
Likewise, if their working hrs. Start at 9 or 10am it wold be the real care by the employer.
Extension of working hours is left to employer, but at the same time, the genuine reasons may be considered.

Dear B.Saikumar,
The said amendment was approved by the union govt. on 30th Aug 2007.
Regarding notication, it was left for the concerned state govts. to notify such amendment accordingly as labour laws come in the concurrent list of Indian Constitution and both Parliament and State Legislatures have the right to make laws.

We should also know that :
1.) Andhra Pradesh High Court in its judgment has struck down Section 66 (1) (b) of the Factories Act 1948 as unconstitutional.
2.) Madras High Court ruled that Section 66(1) (b) of the Factories Act 1948 was (a) violation of the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right to equality enjoyed by
women (ii) was discriminatory to women on sole ground of sex.
3.) The Mumbai High Court in its judgment on10th June 1999 passed an interim order allowing deployment of women in Santa Cruz Electronic Export Processing Zones (SEEPZ) in the nightshift.
The measures given by Madras High Court state that before the Central and State Government introduce rules following measures (several provisions for safety and security of women and preservation of their dignity and honour were suggested by the high court)should be adopted by every employer who wants to employ women in their factory in nightshifts.

Dear Prasoon
That's true th High courts of Andhra Pradesh and the Madras High Court in Vasanta's case have struck down Sec.66 of the Factories Act necessitating the amenment. However I have not come acroos any notification either by Centarl government or State Governments to this effect. Hence my curiosity. It might have escaped my notice. Have you come across any notification by either Centarl Government or State Government? Unless there is notification, it is not enforceable.
