Understanding Key Differences in ID Act, Factory Act, SO Act, and CLRA: Can You Help Clarify?

What are the fundamental differences between the Industrial Disputes (ID) Act, Factory Act, Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, and Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act (CLRA)? Please guide.

In my opinion, the labor acts can be broadly classified into two categories: Controlling and Social Security. The acts mentioned, such as Working Hours, Leave, Overtime, Disputes, Misconducts, etc., fall under controlling acts.

As for social security acts, they include Provident Fund (PF), Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Gratuity, Bonus, Payment of Wages, Minimum Wages, etc.
