Meera Mills runs a unit with 25 persons. Which statement correctly reflects the Act about the meaning of 'establishment' and the forms involved?

Establishment takes its meaning from the relevant Scheduled Act and also expressly includes factories, plantations, newspaper establishments and similar places. Form means a Form specified in the Second Schedule, while the First Schedule lists the Scheduled Acts.

  1. A'Establishment' is defined only by this Act and excludes plantations and newspaper establishments
  2. B'Establishment' has the meaning given in a Scheduled Act and also includes a factory under the Factories Act, 1948 and a plantation under the Plantations Labour Act, 1951; 'Form' means a Form specified in the Second ScheduleCorrect
  3. C'Establishment' includes only factories, and 'Form' means any form prescribed by State rules
  4. D'Establishment' means a place with at least ten persons, and 'Form' means a Form in the First Schedule

Explanation

Section 2(b) gives establishment the meaning in a Scheduled Act and expressly includes factories, plantations, newspaper establishments and others. Section 2(c) says Form means a Form specified in the Second Schedule. The First Schedule lists the Scheduled Acts, not forms, so the last option is wrong.
