Workers will receive double pay for overtime, with a 48-hour weekly work limit. Internal Complaint Committees (ICC) are mandatory in all establishments. CCTV cameras must be installed, with footage saved for at least a month. The decision follows Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena's approval earlier this year.
