A. INDUSTRY [S.

2 (j)]
The Industrial Disputes Act has defined industry as under: “Industry means any
business, trade, undertaking, manufacture or calling of employers, and includes any
calling, service, employment, handicraft or industrial occupation or avocation of
workman.”
However, this definition was amended in 1982 (by the Industrial Disputes Amendment
Act, 1982), but the amended definition has not yet been brought into force. Under the
amended definition, “industry”—
(a) means: any systematic activity carried on by co-operation between an employer and
his workmen (whether such workmen are employed by such employer directly or by or
through any agency, including a contractor) for the production, supply or distribution of
goods or services, with a view to satisfy human wants or wishes (not being wants or
wishes which are merely spiritual or religious in nature), whether or not,-
(i) any capital has been invested for the purpose of carrying on such activity; or
(ii) such activity is carried on with the motive to make any gain or profit;
(b) and includes ;
(i) any activity of the Dock Labour Board established under Section 5A of the Dock
Workers (regulation of Employment) Act, 1948; and
(ii) any activity relating to the promotion of sales or business or both carried on by an
establishment;
(c) but does not include : any agricultural operation, except where such agricultural
operation is carried on in an integrated manner with any other activity (being any
such activity as is referred to in the foregoing provisions of this clause) and such
other activity is the predominant one.
