If the situation is because of Corona, they should have at least paid the salary if not benefits. As per the previous post mentioned, I would also suggest the same. Not paying even salaries is not correct.

Legal considerations for business shutdown during lockdown
First of all, to check the status and previous history of this business according to State Labour Laws and the Company Act of 1956. Legally, it is not possible to shut down a business during a lockdown period without paying statutory benefits. According to the Industrial Dispute Act of 1947, the provisions relating to the shutdown or closure of a business are clearly mentioned. Without following any labour law provisions, it is not possible to make such a decision. As mentioned in the previous post, I would like to suggest making a written complaint to the State Labour Commissioner.
