Allowing Family Members inside SEZ

[venkat ram]

Hi ,

My employer is having very strict policy allowing family member especially the child into the SEZ. As you know there are many working women and they want to balance their work life balance, it would better if they could allow the child into the work area. But my employeer is telling that this is the SEZ rule. but i dont see any such rule in the SEZ rules. Could you please clarify weather such a rule exists ?

To the best of my knowledge no such rule exists.

AI Summary

Access to SEZ work areas: no statutory prohibition on family members; employer policy governs child access in workplace. The central point is that no statutory prohibition in the SEZ rules was identified against allowing family members, including children, inside the SEZ work area; restrictions cited by employers are therefore internal workplace policies rather than express SEZ regulatory requirements.
