Could you share information regarding the precise stipend amount that is to be provided to interns, as per the guidelines established by the Maharashtra government? I am keen to comprehend the specific definitions of \'Trainee\' and \'Apprentice\'. I am interested in finding out if statutory benefits such as EPF, ESIC, EPT, leave, and bonus apply to these positions. Furthermore, what types of returns and records are associated with these acts/rules? I would value information on how a Standing Order is formulated and who needs to approve it for it to be deemed a legal Standing Order.

The stipend amount for interns in Maharashtra is not fixed and varies from organization to organization. However, the Maharashtra government encourages companies to provide a fair stipend that covers basic living expenses.
In terms of definitions, a 'Trainee' is an individual who is learning a particular skill or job under the supervision of a trained professional. An 'Apprentice', on the other hand, is someone who is undergoing a formal training program in a trade or profession, often involving practical work experience.
Statutory benefits such as EPF (Employee Provident Fund), ESIC (Employee State Insurance Corporation), EPT (Employee Pension Scheme), leave, and bonus are generally not applicable to Trainees and Apprentices. These benefits are typically provided to full-time employees. However, some organizations may choose to provide these benefits as part of their internal policies.
The returns and records related to these acts/rules include the monthly return of employees joining or leaving the organization, annual return of contributions, and half-yearly return of compliance with the ESI Act, among others.
A Standing Order is created by the employer and should include terms of employment such as work hours, wage rates, shift working, attendance and late coming, process of leave application, procedure for applying for holidays, closing and reopening sections of the industrial establishment, termination of employment, and the grievance redressal mechanism. The draft of the Standing Order is then submitted to the Certifying Officer (usually the Labour Commissioner or any officer appointed by the government) for approval. Once approved, it becomes a legal document and is binding on both the employer and the employees.
