No compensation will be given.

Shops & Establishment Act is a State subject.
It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts / documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

You have to serve one month notice or one month's pay in lieu of notice, retrenchment compensation @ 15 days average wages for every completed year of service, gratuity if eligible and cash equivalent to the no of days of E.L at credit.
The Act is enacted for the purpose of protecting the rights of employees.
As the company has been registered under the MP state Shops and establishment act, you are required to comply or adhere to the rules set therein with regard to paying compensation to the employees on the roll of your company at the time of closing the company.

This appears to be the right answer. Since there are only 5 employees,question of gratuity,bonus etc. does not arise .
