The Factory Act of 1948 is administered by the Indian Ministry of Labour and Employment through Directorate General Factory Advice Service and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI) and by the state government through their Factory Inspections. DGFASLI advises central and state governments on the administration of the Factory Act and the coordination of state factory inspection services.
