The Factories (Odisha Amendment) Act, 2020
The Factories (Odisha Amendment) Act, 2020, modifies the central Factories Act, 1948, specifically for the state of Odisha to promote industrial growth and ease of doing business. It raises the threshold for defining a "factory," thereby exempting smaller establishments from certain stringent regulations. The Act introduces a 1,000-day exemption period for new factories from various provisions, increases overtime limits, and permits women to work night shifts with adequate safety measures. Additionally, it simplifies the legal process by allowing the compounding of certain offences, reducing the burden of litigation for minor violations while maintaining worker welfare standards.
