A.Dear Client,
There are 2 major laws that govern the overtime work and payment in india and they are Minimum Wages Act, 1948: Under the Minimum Wages Act of 1948, when a worker’s hours go beyond their regular shift, they should get overtime pay per hour.
Factories Act, 1948: According to the Factories Act of 1948, if a worker puts in more than 9 hours in a single day or exceeds 48 hours in a week, they are entitled to receive overtime pay, which is twice their usual wage. If the said laws are breached or violated please approach the labour court or send a legal notice through a practising advocate.

A.Dear Client,
The employment laws in India state that any employee who works more than the established working hours is eligible for overtime remuneration for the period worked beyond mandatory working hours, i.e., 8-9 working hours per day which equals a total of 48-50 hours a week. Several legislations like the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, and Shops and Establishment Act regulate overtime pay. According to these laws, employees who work more than 48 hours per week are eligible for overtime which is calculated at the rate of one and a half times the regular hourly wage of an employee. If the employee’s regular working hour wage that includes basic pay and DA is Rs.200, their overtime rate per hour would be Rs. 300. The maximum limit of overtime per day is 2 hours. Working overtime is a voluntary act. It depends upon the employee or worker's discretion or choice whether he would work overtime or not. An employer cannot force them to work overtime, nor disciplinary action can be taken if they say no to Overtime.
