Need some clarification though:
1. It's not a manufacturing industry.
2. It's not a plantation of tea, coffee, rubber, etc.
3. Will standing orders apply since it's not into manufacturing? We are into the commercial sale of plants and garden equipment and also do landscaping. I am in doubt whether we fit into the definition of an industry.
4. Will the Building and Other Construction Workers Act apply to us as we are into landscaping?
Kindly guide me on these matters.

It will come under the State's Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. Barring the basic Acts (like the Factories Act, Plantations Act, which are similar Acts to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of employees engaged in the company), all the said Acts are applicable to your establishment as well. Since there is no construction business, the Act will not be applicable, but cess payable on the construction will have to be paid.
