It is better to have a license so that the liability of the principle employer shall not be there. If the employees of contractor working in your premises then better to have a licence.

Dear Jeeni
In terms of sec. 12 read with section (1) of the Contract Labour Act 1970, a contarctor who employs twenty or more contarct labour to execute any work through them is to obtain license under the Act. If he is employing less than twenty contract workers at any point of time, he need not have license under the Act. However, in my view, a contractor who executes work through contract labour in more than one establishment, is also required to take license, if the numbe rof contract workers in all the establishments is 20 or more, although he employs less than 20 contract labour in one establishishment.
However as Pricipal employer, it is advisable to enagage a contractor who has labour license.

Dear Sir,
The Contract License shows that the contract labor belongs to a particular contractor and
works for the Employer through Contractor for contract works. The indirect relationship confirms
by the contract.
Whereas if the Contract Labour License is not there, there is every possibility of the labour
working will be construed as direct labor employed by the employer. The contract between
yourself and contractor will not hold good. In case of any risk the employer is liable.

As rightly mentioned by Mr.Gurumurthy better to engage contract labour through contractor and if you don't require 20 better to engage 20 for some time obtain licence and after wards reduce the number so that you are safe failing which the labour working will be construed as direct labour and there is every chance of raising an issue of regularization over a period of time.
