29 March 2012 No, The government employees and the employees of Public sector Companies are different.
I your case they are employed by the government company but not by the govt.
the definition of govt is same for all the pupose under IT Act.

but generally it includes post office employees, railways employees, local body's employees, ans at times statutory corporation employees like RBI.
In Nutshell, Generally employees working in the government dept are govt employees.
