Rather simple.. the number of people who have worked for more than 5 years in the company as employees will have to be paid their earned gratuity.. all other statutory payments due to all your people will have to be settled - including, notice pay, leave encashments, EPF etc.
try to be proactive and supportive of the people you are letting out - be detailed in giving them their FnF, service certificates, PF details, and all such relevant documents. Slip ups will only create avoidable long term complication and heart aches

From practical point of view if the employer is closing down a healthy company he can as well reward his employees by paying both Gratuity and retrenchment compensation irrespective of their eligibility, otherwise strictly going by law, other learned members have already clarified the point.

If the business can be run by the experienced employees, why not try it out ! Run the show ourselves, Discuss amongst yourselves, form a management committee and prevail upon your aged owner to pass on the ownership to the committee. Certainly there could be a brand name or image in the market. Exploit it to your advantage... Introduce new products make it modern and updated !!

Very well said Mr Sundaram.. The old man can continue to retain ownership if he chooses to, but pass on the management to professionals - work out the composition and revenue share.

Yes you have to pay both gratuity and retrenchment compensation as per Gratuity act and ID Act respectively.
Gratuity is to be paid to all employees who completes 5 or more years of service calculated as follows;

Retrenchment compensation is to be paid only to workmen who completed 1 or more years of service calculated as follows;
15 days average wages* No of years.
In addition you have give one months notice to workmen or wages in lieu there of.
If the workmen submit resignation you do not have to pay Retrenchment compensation.
