    Solution

    ·         The Tamil Nadu assembly passed a Bill seeking amendment in the Factories Act, 1948, extending the daily working hours from 8 to 12 hours. ·         The revised 12 daily work hours is not given to all companies and factories, but will be brought into effect “only at places where workers prefer it.”  ·         The Bill will not have any impact on the current 48 hours work-week, and that there will be no changes in terms of weekly holidays and additional wages.
