A charitable hospital will be an industry under Industrial Dispute Act

Contributed by Deepak Miglani Advocate
According to Industrial Disputes Act, “Industry means any business, trade, undertaking, manufacture or calling or employers and includes any calling service, employment, handicraft or industrial occupation or avocation of workmen”. Even a charitable hospital, run by the management providing medical services to women and children, will be an ‘industry’ under the Industrial Disputes Act in view of judgement of the Supreme Court extending the definition on systematic activity of the establishment-it may be religious or charitable.
