Dear Beenavaradhan,
Had your query been specific to the point of your doubt, it would have been easier for others to respond. When any activity falls within the four corners of the terms "industry" under section 2(j) and any establishment or organization within "industrial establishment or undertaking" under section 2(ka) as defined respectively in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, it would generally attract the provisions of almost all labor laws in force, subject to the basic conditions of their applicability.
IT and ITES establishments come within the fold of the industry, although they are distinctly different from conventional manufacturing industries and establishments of trade and commerce. Though their workforce comprises academically highly qualified and hefty-paid individuals -- whom Peter Drucker referred to as "the knowledge workers" -- in terms of employment laws, they are not different from their blue-collar counterparts in conventional industries. They do have rights to legally fixed working hours, weekly holidays and leave, the ability to seek redress against illegal termination, to form trade unions, and the like. So, please come out with any specific questions.

Dear Mr. Umakanthan,
Does the IT industry in Tamil Nadu come under the purview of 'The Factories Act' or 'The Shops and Establishment Act'? Although I am an accountant, I raise this question because of some apparent confusion in understanding by some of my IT friends. I would be thankful if you could shed some light on the laws that govern the monthly remuneration in the IT industry, with specific reference to Tamil Nadu.
Thanks, sir,

Dear Mr. Venugopalan,
In confirmation and continuation of our learned friend's above reply, I would like to answer the second query of your post. Since the IT Industry is covered by the States' Shops and Establishments Act according to its locale, firstly, all other Labour Laws are applicable to its employees depending upon their employment position/capacity. Secondly, Monetary Labour Legislations such as the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, etc., subject to the salary limit prescribed in each one.
