Dear Manish
As per law no employee should work for more than 48 hours in a week. I.e., average 8-9 hrs a day. 1/2 hr break for every 5hrs.
In a calender year 12 CL, 12 SL and 15 PL leaves.
In case any employees works over time he should be paid OT which is double the hourly salary. It will be calculated on Basic.
If an employee works on National holidays he should be paid double the days salary and compensatory off in next 3 days.
In case if you have any problem with the company you can approach Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner or the Commissioner of Labour of your zone.
He will send legal notice to your company and it if your company doesn't respond they will move legally.
The labour department, PF & ESIC bodies all the rights to shut down companies which are not following statutory regulations.
Form a group and then approach the labour department.

Dear Manish
You have selected the wrong industry. In Construction everywhere the timing is about 12 hours and it may extended further also. It is not the IT industry that you can sit in AC Room and simply do programming job hours together or it is not factory floor where you will be replaced by next shift person on completion of 8 hours shift. Once the concrete pouring is on you cannot left the site until unless the concrete is completed and even you cannot just leave the concrete that balance concrete can be poured on next day.
That's the reason in hours of work column in your offer of employment it is mentioned that "you will follow the workings hours as per your site timings" and they will not give the clear timings from ____ hours to ____ hours. To compensate that you will be given with some Site Based Allowance.
If you feel you are being exploited, you have to switch over to some other industry.
Wish you all the best dear.
