9 hours in a day is compulsory because as per factory act lunch time (30 minutes) and tea time of two time which is 15 minutes is add in 8 hours in a day so your actual working hours is 8 hours so per factory act 9 hours are correct in a day because tea time and lunch time is a facility for you which are providing by your company

The existing system is absolutely OK. Total hours including Spread over is 9.5 hours. Half an hour is rest. Therefore, total working hour per day is 9 hrs. As Saturday and Sunday are off, total weekly hours is 45 hrs. There is no violation of any law.

HI,
Based on the information you provided, the current working hours are 9.5 hours per day, which exceeds the nine-hour limit set by the Shops and Establishment Act. To comply with the Act, you may consider adjusting your organization's policies to limit the daily working hours to nine hours.
Additionally, it's important to ensure that the total weekly working hours do not exceed the limit specified by the Act, which is 48 hours in any week. If your organization's current schedule exceeds this limit, you may need to adjust the weekly working hours accordingly.
It's recommended to review the specific regulations of the Shops and Establishment Act applicable to your location, as these regulations can vary between states and countries. Consulting with legal professionals or authorities familiar with labor laws in your jurisdiction can provide you with more specific guidance tailored to your organization's situation.
Thanks

There is some confusion between working hours and spread over hour. 9.30 hours is spread over hour i.e. including lunch break. Lunch break half an hour is not working hour. Working hour is 9 hours.
It is 5 days week organization with per day working hours 9. Therefore, total working hours per week is 45 hours. As per law per day work and per week hour both are within legal limit.
If it is 9.5 hours working hours and half an hour lunch break i.e 10 hrs spread over hours, then it is not fulfilling the legal conditions.
