Dear Friend,

Please study Chapter V B of the ID Act. This chapter starts with Section 25K, and the provisions are very easy and clear to understand.

As per Chapter VB of the Act, you can neither terminate/retrench nor lay off except by following due process of law as enshrined in the provisions of this chapter. You will have to obtain permission from the appropriate Government.

Warm Regards,
