The Factories (Rajasthan Amendment) Act, 2014

Labour20145 sections

This Act amends the Factories Act, 1948, specifically for the state of Rajasthan. It changes the number of workers required to define a factory and specific inspection thresholds, raising them from ten to twenty and twenty to forty. The legislation also modifies how offences are prosecuted by requiring State Government sanction for courts to take action and introduces a new power for Inspectors to compound minor offences with a fine, allowing offenders to avoid prosecution if they pay the fee. This update aims to streamline enforcement and provide flexibility in handling minor violations within the state's industrial sector.
