It is a law in India that no one can work more than 8 hours in a single day (and before you ask, I have a number of Indian friends that have relatives still in India along with dealing with folks from the Chennai India center for Verizon). That doesn't mean that some of the jobs aren't hazardous, but they don't work OT...ever...

This does not sound right. India is certainly famous for ridiculously restrictive labour laws, but zero overtime? An absolute, legislated 8/48 cap? I get quite a lot of references to overtime in India with a quick google.

Are you sure you are correct about this?

That's what I'm being told and what I've encountered while dealing with our (Verizon's) center in Chennai.

India has some very wacky labor laws. For instance, my friend Jassi and his wife went back to India to see the family, Jassi's brother wanted to know an exact date for when the family was getting together so he could take a day off either Saturday or Monday. Jassi asked him why he, his brother, just didn't take off both days to which his brother responded that if he took off both Saturday and Monday, he would have to take Sunday as a vacation not, not as a normal off day (and that's a mandated law as well).
