Dear Seniors, I am working with a construction company, and I am going to submit the Annual Return in FORM XXV to the Registering Officer. I have a query regarding the "Number of building workers ordinarily employed."
I have filled in:
- Point No. 7: Total number of days during the year on which building workers were employed.
- Point No. 8: Total number of man-days worked by building workers during the year.
- Point No. 9: Maximum number of building workers employed on any day during the year.
Query on Point No. 6
But how do I fill in the "Building workers ordinarily employed" in Point No. 6? Kindly help me.
Regards, Alok

Dear Alok,
Under the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act, the term "ordinarily employed" refers to the average number of workers who are regularly engaged in the construction work throughout the year.
To calculate the number of building workers 'ordinarily employed', you can take the following steps:
1️⃣ First, add the number of workers you've employed each day throughout the year. For example, if you employed 15 workers on Day 1, 20 workers on Day 2, and so on, you would add these numbers together.
2️⃣ Second, divide the total number from Step 1 by the total number of days in the year (365 in a non-leap year, 366 in a leap year).
📌 For example, if you employed a total of 7300 workers over the course of a non-leap year, you would divide 7300 by 365 to get 20. This indicates that you 'ordinarily employed' 20 workers on average per day throughout the year.
Remember, the aim of this section of the FORM XXV is to provide a snapshot of your average employment numbers. It helps the Registering Officer understand how many workers are typically employed by your company.
I hope this clarifies your query. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
🔴 Be sure that all your calculations are accurate and compliant with the BOCW Act to avoid any potential legal complications.
