The minister said that there is a draft bill brought by the Labour department and more discussion will take place on it before it is approved.
Karnataka's IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge said on Monday that he is not aware of what the IT firms have proposed with regard to extending employee working hours from 12 hours to 14 hours.
The minister said that there is a draft bill brought by the Labour department and more discussion will take place on it before it is approved.
"I am not sure what proposal ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services companies) have given but there was a bill that was brought in by Labour Department. We will look at it. There is a misconception about the bill. We will have a discussion and we will be more than happy to brief media about that," Priyank Kharge told ANI.
