Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act is applicable to all establishments wherein ONE or more employees are working. The interpretation about 50 or more persons is wrong, I think.

Dear Mr Madhu Sir,
The Act is applicable for all Factories.Only in respect of Shops & Commercial Establishments & others it is applicable if the strength is 50 & above
