If an organization is operating in every state of the country (Bharat), in this case, which state's Shop & Establishment Act is applicable? In Delhi, PL is cumulative to 40 days. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, PL is cumulative to 60 days. In Haryana, it is 45 days. The number of holidays in a year declared by Delhi is 10, Haryana-9, etc.
The organization is registered at an address in Delhi. So, based on my understanding, whichever state provides employees with the maximum benefits would be applicable. If I am correct, please provide me with the necessary documents. Your support will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
You need to follow the Shops and Establishment Act as per the state in which you are operational. Acts are always there to ensure benefits for the employees, and in case you are providing more than what is mandated, then it will not be a problem. Therefore, as you stated, whichever employee receives the maximum benefit that is applicable is absolutely correct. Please ensure not to go below the specified requirements in any state.

Probably, the poster's reference to the organization's registration in Delhi relates to its registration as a company under the Companies Act, 2013. Registration of any business entity as a whole under the Companies Act or the Partnership Act relates to its constitution as such to attain a particular legal status.
But the application of the Labor Laws to its branches or constituents depends upon the location or/and nature of activity of every such constituent. So far as any establishment-specific Labor Law like the Factories Act, 1948, Shops and Establishments Act, etc., is concerned, each branch would be treated as a separate establishment under the applicable Act according to its type and location.
Particularly, every Indian State has its own Shops and Establishment Act. Therefore, if an entity has pan-India presence through its various branches across the country, each such branch would be a separate establishment under the respective State's Shops and Establishments Act. However, the provisions relating to various service conditions of employees prescribed in such State Enactments are not uniform, as admitted by the poster himself.
Hence, the concern of the poster to have uniformity in service conditions of the employees irrespective of their place of work based on the maximum scale is both appropriate and justified. He can collect the required information from the various branches situated in each State, compare them, and address them accordingly.
