Dear Jaheer,
Since you are providing services to an MNC in multiple locations it is advised you should obtain Shop act license. Then you can get form 5 from PE to obtain Contract Labour License. It will not only be helpful for statutory commpliance but also for other transactions and growth of your business.
Registers to be maintained:
Maintenance of registers and records for establishment governed by Payment of Wages Act, Minimum Wages Act
1. muster Roll,
2. register of Wages,
3. register of Deduction,
4. register of overtime,
5. register of fines,
6. register of advances etc
Maintenance of registers and records for establishment which are not governed by Payment of Wages Act, Minimum Wages Act
1. muster-roll-cum-wage register
2. attendance card cum wage slip
Feel free to contact me if you require any assistance.
Regards,
Swapnil
