Dear Aakriti,
Plz go through the definition of manufacturing process under Factories Act, 1948 which is given hereunder for ready reference & if it is so then if you are employing 10 more workers including contractor workers & is using power then you are covered under this Act.
Sec 2(k) "manufacturing process" means any process for-
o (i) making, altering, repairing, ornamenting, finishing, packing, oiling, washing, cleaning, breaking up, demolishing or otherwise treating or adopting any article or substance with a view to its use, sale, transport, delivery or disposal; or
o (ii) pumping oil, water, sewage, or any other substance; or
o (iii) generating, transforming or transmitting power; or
o (iv) composing types for printing, printing by letter press, lithography, photogravure or other similar process or book-binding; or
o (v) constructing, reconstructing,, repairing, refitting, finishing or breaking up ships or vessels; or
o (vi) preserving or storing any article in cold storage ;
