Understanding Retrenchment Notices: How Do Section 25-N and 25-F Differ in Uttar Pradesh?

Difference Between Notices Under Section 25-N and Section 25-F

What is the difference between the notice sent under clause (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 25-N for retrenchment on such authority as may be specified by the UP State Government and the notice given by the employer under clause (a) of Section 25-F and delivered to such authority as may be specified by the UP State Government?

Understanding Sections 25N and 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act

Section 25N speaks about establishments where 100 or more workers are employed, whereas Section 25F deals with establishments where fewer than 100 workers are engaged. In an establishment to which Section 25N applies, retrenchment is possible only after obtaining permission from the appropriate authority, i.e., the government. In contrast, in an establishment with fewer than 100 employees, no permission is required. However, just an intimation of the intention to retrench the workers must be given to the labor/appropriate authorities.

Dear Madhu Sir,

In cases where Section 25N is applicable, what is the reason for sending an attested copy of the notice given by the employer under clause (a) of Section 25F, delivered to such authority with the application made for permission for retrenchment under Section 25N, whereas we are also serving notice under clause (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 25N for retrenchment in the prescribed form?
