Plz also study the definition of Industry which makes clear that a limited company also comes within the definition of employer.

In general employer is not defined in the ID Act except the term under the quoted section where it is used in relation to an injdustry carried on by state/central government or local authority to fasten the responsibility and answerability. Therefore the term employer should have ordinary dictionery meaning i.e. one who employs a person to work for him.
