Dear Babu sir,

You have made a good point.
Unfortunately people don't bother to search the forum.
The answers are given in so much of details on that thread.

Dear Members,

Please clarify :
Q.Whether is any exemption from Industrial Employment Standing Orders for Retail stores and Health care Industries in Karnataka. ( Is applicable or not ) ?

Q.Whether there is any exemption from Industrial Employment Standing Orders establishments defined under The Karnataka Shops & Establishment Act 1961 ?

Dear Saswata,

As per above query i am specifically asking about applicability for Retail Stores ( Where more than 100 employees are working in Karnataka / Maharashtra ) - If Industrial Employment Standing Order is applicable, Please share a notification.

Every shop and establishment is covered under standing orders if it has more then 50 Employees in that particular location.

At one point they had exemption for IT and ITES companies, but I am not sure if it has been withdrawn thereafter or extended
