Solution

Explanation: This provision states that the Act does not apply to certain types of establishments. Here's a simplified explanation: ·       The Act does not apply to co-operative societies that are registered under the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912 , or any other law related to co-operative societies in any state. This exemption applies to co-operative societies that have fewer than fifty employees and operate without using power. ·       The Act also does not apply to establishments that belong to or are controlled by the Central Government or a State Government .
