What would be the additional wages to be paid to these security guards for the additional hours of work?

Dear Satya,
Certainly, it is not possible to require such employees to work overtime to the extent of 4 hours every day under any labor law. Depending on the type of industrial establishments, there are daily/quarterly limitations on the number of hours of overtime (O.T.). Therefore, it is better to revise the manpower and reschedule the spread of the working hours of the security personnel accordingly without giving room for statutory violations.

Dear Satyaji,
Security guards working for 12 hours is not advisable. The PSAR Act also states that under the scheme of guard boards, it is therefore important to appoint 8-hour shifts and arrange for relieving duties against the weekly off. This will ensure better quality in performance as well as the sustenance of guards, thus reducing attrition.
We provide guards under such schemes with proper audit and police verification of guards. Please email for services at
