Software firms are factories: High Court

MUMBAI: Software development is a “manufacturing process” said the Bombay high court and firms involved in creating computer software are “factories” under the Employees State Insurance Act. The HC held that IT and the software industry are liable to pay a contribution as demanded by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation. As a consequence eligible employees of computer software companies are entitled to benefits under the ESI Act.

The HC judgment delivered recently by Justice Mridula Bhatkar held the meaning of the term “factory” for the purpose of the ESI Act is broader than the definition under the Factories Act. The judge said, “Application of the ESI Act is not a regressive but a progressive step and to think that its application would affect IT industry adversely is a futile fear.”
