Dear Sir,
We operate as a manufacturing unit under a partnership firm, currently employing 100 individuals. This includes our production staff and workers. In addition to adhering to the Factory Act, we are left wondering if we are also obliged to follow the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. If any notifications or amendments concerning this matter exist, kindly share them with us.
Please confirm.

The Payment of Gratuity Act applies to all factories without reference to the number of employees employed. But for establishments other than a factory, plantation oil field or mine, the Act will be applies only if it employs 10 or more employees. Therefore, the question of application of the Act will not arise at all. It is applicable to your establishment.
