CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · The Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act

Ravi runs a small unit in a premises where Section 67 of the Factories Act, 1948 applies. A query arises whether it is a 'workshop' under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986. Which is correct?

The unit is not a workshop under this Act. The definition covers premises where an industrial process is carried on but expressly excludes premises to which section 67 of the Factories Act, 1948 applies at the time. No employee-number threshold appears in it.

  1. AYes, any premises with an industrial process is a workshop without exception
  2. BNo, the definition excludes premises to which section 67 of the Factories Act, 1948 for the time being appliesCorrect
  3. CYes, but only if more than ten persons work there
  4. DNo, because a workshop must be a shop or commercial establishment

Explanation

Section 2 defines workshop as premises where any industrial process is carried on but not including premises to which section 67 of the Factories Act, 1948 applies. Hence Ravi's unit is excluded. The headcount condition is not in the definition.
