Meena Textiles, a factory with 32 employees on a day in the past twelve months, is covered by a Scheduled Act. Under the 1988 Act as amended, what is its position regarding returns and registers?

Meena Textiles is a small establishment, since the Act covers ten to forty persons. It furnishes the annual return in Form I in lieu of other returns and maintains registers in Forms II and III at the work spot instead of the registers under the Scheduled Act.

  1. AIt is a very small establishment and keeps only Form III
  2. BIt is a small establishment and furnishes annual return in Form I and maintains registers in Forms II and IIICorrect
  3. CIt is outside the Act because the limit is nineteen persons
  4. DIt must file all returns under each Scheduled Act as before

Explanation

A small establishment has not less than ten and not more than forty persons; the upper limit was raised from nineteen to forty from 1-1-2015. So 32 employees make it a small establishment, which furnishes Form I annually and maintains Forms II and III. The nineteen-person limit is the superseded one.
