As such question is quite clear, there shall be no confusion. The factory Act requires the provision of creche if there are 30 or more female employees while as per Maternity Act creche is mandatory when there are 50 or more employee (not 50 female employees). Thus, 30 is the appropriate answer.

Needful correction done.

Section 11A of the Maternity Act safeguards the intent of Section 48 of the Factories Act, 1948, which requires factories with more than 30 female workers to have a creche. Therefore, even if a factory has less than 50 employees but has at least 30 females, such factory will be under the obligation to have a creche under the Factories Act, 1948. Further, if Section 11A of the Maternity Act had been framed to be applicable on establishments with 50 or more female employees, then, Section 48 of the Factories Act, 1948, would have lost its effect as factories having more than 30 women workers but less than 50 women workers would have done away with the compliance of having a creche. Isn't 30 the right answer? Please correct me if I am wrong...
