What it says
The Board's consolidated text of the Tamil Nadu Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1972. Cited for who the fund covers (section 2(d), five or more persons, as amended by Tamil Nadu Act 8 of 2018) and who counts as an employee (section 2(b)). Its section 15 still shows the pre-2021 ceilings, so it is not relied on for amounts.

- An employee is anyone employed for hire or reward for 30 days in the preceding twelve months, but not someone employed mainly as a manager, a supervisor drawing more than ₹15,000 a month or doing mainly managerial work, or an apprentice or part-time employee (section 2(b)).
