Looking forward to your valuable suggestion & answer .
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Vikram,
From your post, I infer that there are more than 100workmen on the rolls of your manufacturing unit during the past 12 month's period. As such Chapter V-B of the ID Act, 1947 is applicable to your establishment. Therefore it is mandatory to get prior permission from the appropriate Government for lay-off, retrenchment of the workmen and closure of the undertaking.
It's a very cumbersome process as no popular Government would accord permission due to fear of criticism. Moreover, just because of certain losses in a particular year, it would not be justifiable to accord permission for lay-off or closure to a going concern.
Therefore, my suggestion would be to go in for some VRS on mutually agreed norms and terms.
