I think you are referring to earlier Act of 1948.
New Act has been passed in 2017 for shops and establishments where this provision is differently worded.

If wroker had worked for >=90 days,then he ius entitled for 5 days EL.This applies to worker whose job is not fr full year or only short term like during some special seasons etc.
