Re: factories act

Under Factories Act, there is only one provision that is to providing canteen, and more powers are delegated to the State Government to frame rules, regarding the requirment of canteen.

So refer to the state rules to see what are the requirements of canteen. If there is something more provided in the rules, then what is provided by the employeer at the factory, then certainly it would be contravention of factories act and rules.
