Dear Pradip
The RC must be displayed in the Time Keeper's Office, where you might have displayed the Notice Board about the wage rates, payment dates, inspecting authorities, working hours, etc.
As a matter of fact you must get prior approval from the Inspector of factories prior to the commencement of the OT Work and ensure that the OT period must be paid with double the rate of wages.

Thanks Sir, for your valuable reply. However i have some clarification as follows,
1) The provisions of Rule 5 of The Karnataka Factories Rules, 1969 does not provide for display of Factory License Though, such provision was there earlier, the same was amended it. However, we are unable to say as the date of such amendment. And also i am not able to find such provision in factories Act. If possible can you let me know the section reference or extract of it.
2.Neither the provisions of The Factories Act, 1948 nor The Karnataka Factories Rules, 1969 provides for obtaining consent in writing from the workmen to allow them to work overtime.
However as you rightly told, we have to take the prior approval from inspector of factories for OT working and pay double wages to workers.
Thanks for professional updates in advance
