Which one of the following statements about layoff as stated in Chapter V B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is not correct ?
Explanation
According to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Chapter V-B applies to industrial establishments employing at least 100 workmen (Section 25-K). Statement (a) is correct. Section 25-M(1) mandates that prior permission from the appropriate government or specified authority is necessary before a layoff, making statement (b) correct. Section 25-M(4) provides for "deemed permission" if the government fails to communicate its decision within 60 days of the application, so statement (d) is correct.
Statement (c) is incorrect because Section 25-M(6) stipulates that where permission for layoff is granted, the workman is entitled to compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 25-C (which is part of Chapter V-A). Section 25-C specifies compensation equal to 50% of the basic wages and dearness allowance; there is no provision stating that compensation under Chapter V-B is "twice" that of Chapter V-A.
