Overtime is allowed, but it must be compensated at a premium, typically double the regular pay rate. Employees are also entitled to at least one day off per week.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Daily and Weekly Limits:Daily: Employees cannot work more than 9 hours in a day.

May 3, 2025 at 7:07 amthe Factories Act, 1948 applies only to factories as defined under the lawβi.e., premises where manufacturing processes occur with a certain number of workers.CA firms are not factories, so the Factories Act does not apply to them.
CA firms fall under Shops and Establishments Act, this is a state-specific law and each state in India has its own law version of this. So check you state law regarding this, though most CAs don’t follow it.
