Under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the provision of a canteen facility is mandatory in every establishment employing: 

Under the welfare provisions of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, an employer of an establishment employing one hundred or more workers is required to provide and maintain a canteen facility for the workers, as may be prescribed. This threshold aligns broadly with the canteen requirement earlier applicable under sector-specific legislation such as the Factories Act, 1948, but the OSH Code extends this welfare obligation more uniformly across establishments covered by the Code. The Code similarly prescribes other welfare facility thresholds - such as crèche facilities where a prescribed number of women workers are employed, and first-aid provisions - reflecting the legislative intent to consolidate and standardise workplace welfare obligations that were previously scattered across multiple statutes with inconsistent thresholds.
