I am currently working on Employee Policy for 2 NGO's & exploring the Statuary requirements for NGO's in Maharashtra as per Labour Laws or any other Acts of the State Government. In one NGO the number of employees is less than 30 but in other NGO it is more than 100. I would also be interested in knowing if there are any stipulations regarding minimum wages, leave, gratuity, provident fund, insurance or any other employee benefit that is mandatory.
