Managers will live in the house and have access to all of its facilities. A factory has been set up in the garden area. The laborers must work in the factory and live in the designated dormitories. The house's essentials, such as drinking water, gas, and toilet water connections, have been disconnected. A manager must choose a laborer, and the chosen laborer must pedal the cycle allotted to that specific necessity each time it is required, after which the managers can utilize the house's facilities. The managers must give the laborers water and food, and they may only enter the house to use the toilet, which requires another laborer to pedal the cycle. The laborers must follow the rules set by the managers. The managers will live in the house, known as the Nomination Free Zone, while the laborers will live in the garden area, known as the Nominated Zone. Whenever the buzzer sounds, the managers must confer and send one manager to the Nominated Zone, while the laborers must confer and send one laborer to the Nomination Free Zone. At the end of this task, one of the managers will earn a nomination free pass, while one of the laborers will be directly nominated for Week 11's eviction process. Managers vs Laborers 2.0 (Day 67): In addition to the existing rules, laborers must now also do all the chores, such as cooking, vessel washing, etc. Water will no longer be provided through the house's pipes.

The laborers must complete the task allotted by the managers inside the house, if any, and then return to their workplace. The managers have the authority to establish new rules and assign tasks to the laborers.

If any of the key rules are broken, a laborer must continue to pedal the cycle until the next Bigg Boss announcement.

They must give valid reasons to the other housemates in the living area. If all three knives are placed on the doll before the end of the week, they will lose their position as captain. Captaincy status: The house captain (Vishal) had no knives placed on his doll at the end of Week 11.
