For closure, you will have to follow the procedure laid down in Industrial Disputes Act 1947. It will also have to be ascertained whether your hospital is covered within the term "industrial establishment" or not. You will appreciate that due to closure, services of the employees are terminated, hence there will be labour unrest. Therefore, before initiating any action in furtherance to closure, you must consult Labour Lawyer.

The closure of Hospital has to be dealt under the ID Act. These are my suggestions-
1. Try to introduce a VRS, under which whoever willing can avail the benefits under this scheme and will be treated as voluntarily retired. In respect of contract labour you have to issue adequate notice to the contractor reg.proposed closure;
2. Rest will have to be issued advance notice termination with required compensation as per ID Act. Consult the Labour Dept. for taking adequate steps.
3. Parallelly file application with the state govt.(Labour & Director of Industries/Health Dept.)for approval for termination & closure of hospital;
4. Once the formal approval is received rest of the compliance can take place.
5. You may engage an able advocate for compliance of all these procedures.
Some of the relevant provisions & procedures under ID Act is discussed in the attachment.

Overview: The awaited introduction of Labour Codes contains certain provisions also relating to closure and other relevant subjects. My hunch is even if you apply now your application may be delayed resulting consideration under new regime of Labour codes instead of extant provisions. Come Dec.2020 you are likely to have a clear picture on this. You may consider this aspect also.

Dear Aathira,
Your hospital, even though having a workforce of 200 employees in total as of now, is not an "industrial establishment" as defined u/s 2-L of the IDA,1947 and as such the restrictions imposed under Chapter V B of the Act on closure are not applicable to it.
On the same analogy, the restrictions in this regard under Chapter V A are also not applicable either except section 25-F under which notice and payment of compensation for retrenchment are mandatory.
So far as the settlement of legal dues to the employees like retrenchment compensation and gratuity ( in case of employees including non-workman cadre), better engage the services of a labor law consultant like Mr.Varghesemathew or someone else as per your choice.
Regarding surrender of licence/registration under the MCI norms, you should contact the Regional Joint Director of State Medical Services.
