Really? Because that sounds abusive - make employees work 12 hours a day on salary, so the company profits by billing for 12 instead of 8 (or 6) hours? They need a union.

I meant billing 8 hours per day compared to 6 hours per day.For a services company , The project needs to get extended as the man hours needed will take more time for 6 hr work day. So company needs to hire more heads as per current 8hr/day estimation but at the same time salary of the employees stay same.So the point is ,wouldn't be a lose if the company's business model is selling man hours ?

It's already "a lose" for you, because you are giving the company your free time in order for it to make more profit.

When you are burned out after 10 years of working 12 hour days, will the company keep you employed?
