A warm greeting to everybody!

I have a couple of queries:

1. Ours is an insurance broking house, so under which Act should we fall?
2. How many employees are required to fall under labor law?
3. We have 3-4 groups of companies dealing with insurance, loans, and complete financial planning. The employee strength would consist of 40-45. What are the mandatory rules and laws we need to abide by?

Kindly provide me with an elaborate description as soon as possible.

Thanks & Regards,
