This query is : Resolved
Regards applicability the act says the following:
" Every other establishment employing at least 20 persons on any day during an accounting year."
Would that mena that literally every small shop like stationary or grocery and all corporates come under this category provided they employ 20 or more employees?
Please quote relevant sections forming your opinion.
Thanks.

I think they come under the purview of the act.
The generally exempted establishments are (hospitals, social welfare institutions, chambers of commerce, electricity board, Indian red cross society and other institutions of a like nature, local bodies, universities and educational institutions.
For exemption of establishments see section 32 (v) (c) of the act. All other establishments not covered under the above exemption provision are covered under the act.
