Which Document Defines Misconduct in a Company in absence of certified Standing Orders in Karnataka

Dear Kumari,
It is clear from the notification that the S.O.Act is not applicable to your establishment.
Therefore, you may frame your own Service Rules on the lines of SO Act, incorporating, inter alia, the list of misconducts and any additional misconducts specific to your industry togetherwith procedure of disciplinary action and type of punishment for proven acts of misconducts.
Since you are out of the perview of the said Act, you don't have to get it certified except to communicate to all the staff to whom they are applicable.
