In the ID Act, it is mentioned that the workmen drawing less than ₹10,000/- per month are covered under the ID Act.
My question is, if a worker is drawing more than ₹10,000/- per month, are they not covered under the ID Act?

Understanding the Definition of a Workman Under the ID Act
The definition under Section 2(s) of the ID Act is not exclusive but should be interpreted based on the functions and responsibilities that a particular employee holds within the organization. Therefore, all employees who do not have supervisory or managerial authority fall under the definition of a workman, even if their salary exceeds ₹10,000. Various judgments state that an employee with the authority to approve leave for subordinates, initiate disciplinary action, or evaluate their performance is considered a managerial or supervisory employee. Hence, those who do not fit these criteria are considered workmen. It is important to note that even pilots earning a monthly salary of over five lakhs are classified as workmen under the ID Act for these reasons.

Dear Madhu, can you please explain Section 22 of the ID Act? I have some doubts and don't clearly understand the first point in Section 22. Furthermore, in one interview, I was asked whether the public utility service industry should give notice and what the conditions are for non-public utility service industries. Please explain.
