Hi Seniors,
In every organization, crèches should be available if the number of female workers is up to 30 members. I would like to know if this limit has been increased. Has the limit been raised to 50 members instead of 30 female workers? Please provide me with full details, including any orders issued by higher authorities.
Thanks.
