BONUS ACT BASICS
A bonus is an extra amount of money that is added to someone's pay, usually because they have worked very hard.

This Act applies to wages payable to an employed person in respect of a wage period if such wages for that wage period do not exceed. Six thousand five hundred rupees per month or such other higher sum which, on the basis of figures of the Consumer Expenditure Survey published by the National Sample Survey Organization, the Central Government may after every five years, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify.
Strike and Lockout - Legal and illegal strikes and lockouts,
Justified and unjustified strikes and lockouts, Strike and lockout in public utility services and other industries, Distinction between
lockout and closure, strike and lockout.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

1. The Industrial Employment
(Standing Orders) Act, 1946
Prepared by-
Sandip Satbhai
Assistant Professor

(New Law Guruji) 1
2. Introduction
• The Labour Investigation Committee, in its Report, at p. 113 (1946)
had observed
• “An industrial worker has the right to know-
– The terms and conditions under which he is employed and
– The rules of discipline which he is expected to follow.
• The Rules of Service have been very elastic to suit the convenience of
employers.
• No doubt, several large-scale industrial establishments have adopted
standing orders and rules to govern the day to day relations between
the employers and workers, but such standing orders or rules are
clearly one sided.
2
3. • It was to ameliorate these evils that the Industrial Employment
(Standing Orders) Act, 1946 was passed
• Before this Act, there was no law to prevent the employer from
having different contracts of employment with workmen that led
to confusion and discriminatory treatment.
• The Tripartite Labour Conference pleaded for defining the
conditions of employment so as to create harmonious relations
between employer and workmen.
• Before this Act victimisation and unfair labour practices were
quite frequent.
• The industrial worker had no right to know the terms and
conditions and rules of discipline of his employment. 3
4. Objectives
• To define conditions of employment under them and
to make known the said conditions to workmen.
• To require employers to define the conditions of
work
• To bring about uniformity in terms and conditions of
employment.

5. Objectives
• To minimize industrial conflicts.

and employees.

extends to all industrial establishments
wherein the number of workmen employed is

of the provisions of the Act.
• It applies to railways, factories, mines, quarries, oil-fields,
tramways, motor services, docks, plantations, workshops, civil
construction and maintenance works. The Act has 15 sections
and a schedule.

government to serve as an exemplary pattern

certifying officers appointed for this purpose.
9
10. • The Supreme Court in Bagalkot Cement Company Ltd. v.
Pathan (K.K.). [(1962) 1 L.L.J. 203)], held that certified
standing orders have statutory force and after they are certified,
constitute the statutory terms of employment between the
industrial establishment in question and their employees.
• Again in Western Indian Match Co. v. Workmen, (AIR 1964
S.C. 1458) the Supreme Court spoke in similar terms:
• “The terms of employment specified in the Standing Order
would prevail over the corresponding terms in the contract of
service in existence at the time of the enforcement of the
Standing Order.”

him for adoption in his industrial establishment.
• Such a draft should be submitted within six months of the
commencement of the Act to the Certifying Officer.

particulars of workmen employed in the,
establishment as also the name of the trade union, if
any, to which they belong.

entitled to immediately preceding the date of such suspension, for
the first ninety days of suspension, and
(b) at the rate of seventy-five per cent of such wages for the remaining
period of suspension if the delay in the completion of disciplinary
proceedings against such workman is not directly attributable to the
conduct of such workman. 17

a workman under sub-section (1) the workman or the employer
concerned may refer the dispute to the Labour Court, constituted
under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) within the
local limits of whose jurisdiction the industrial establishment
wherein such workman is employed is situated and the Labour
Court to which the dispute is so referred shall, after giving the
parties an opportunity of being heard, decide the dispute and such
decision shall be final and binding on the parties.
3. However where provisions relating to payment of subsistence
