Dear Barnali,

It would have been better if you had gone through the definition of the term "industry" defined under Section 2(j) of the ID Act, 1947 beforehand. Profit is not the criterion for defining any industry as such; but it is the systematic cooperation between the employer and the employees to serve or satisfy any human need or want. Therefore, every person employed on salary or wages in a non-profit organization would be entitled to the employment benefits under the labor laws applicable to such organization, subject to the parameters of eligibility.

If you were the CEO or the HR Manager of the organization, it is important that you have at least a rudimentary knowledge of labor laws like the ECA, 1923, PWA, 1936, IDA, 1947, MWA, 1948, State S&EA, ESIA, 1948, EPFA, 1952, PBA, 1965, PGA, 1972, ERA, 1976, SHWW(PP&R)A, 2013, etc. For instance, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 totally exempts the employees of institutions, including hospitals, chambers of commerce, and social welfare institutions established not for profit purposes.

So, I would suggest that you browse through these laws first.
