Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is the Bombay Labour Welfare Fund Act of 1953 and the IT Act of 2000 applicable to a software company?

Hi Sandip,

Thank you for the information. Could you please elaborate more on this? Where will I get the details about these laws? What are the procedures under these laws?

Meghana

Hi Meghana,

The Bombay LWF Act is applicable, but the IT Act has nothing to do with labor laws. It focuses on digital signatures, emails, and IT security.

Hi Suresh,

The IT Act has no relation with labor, but does it have any relation with an IT company? Because an IT company uses digital signatures.
