Dear Raghavan,
Labour laws applicable to industrial establishments do not cover domestic employment. However, there is no ban on the power of the government to regulate the working conditions of domestic labor by appropriate legislation in the interest of social justice.

Labour laws are not applicable to personal services. However, please see, as Mr. Umakantan said, whether your State has enacted any law regulating the service conditions of domestic workers or in the unorganized sector.

All,
As such, none of the labor legislation shall be applicable to domestic workers. However, most state governments and even the central government have issued guidelines to protect domestic workers.

Mr. Saikumar,
The General Order states that Minimum Wage is for domestic works. There is no indication that it is meant for establishments. It includes tasks such as sweeping, clothes washing, cooking, purchasing provisions and vegetables, child care, escorting children to school, driving vehicles, gardening, providing home nursing, security, etc.
Thank you.
