1) Payment of Wages Act, 1936 & the Payment of Wages ( Air Transport service) Rules,1968 ; and
2)Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 and Payment of Gratuity (Central) Rules,1972 .

Pl. bear in mind that the noticed establishment is duly registered under the state Shops and Commercial Establishments

The point in question is whether the notices issued to the establishment are proper and applicable .
