Hi,
Just want to add one point, if sub contractor name is included in Registration Certificate of Principal Employer then PE need to issue Form V to sub contractor for obtaining Labour Licence.

If the contractor secured the contract want to do only supervision and hand over the entire job to the sub-contractor, then obviously the sub-contractor must obtain the CL License.

Under the Contract Labour (R&A) Act 1970 there is no word like sub-contractor. However as a principal employer we must see whether the contractor has taken prior permission for such deployment or his contract agreement is permitting to deploy sub-contractor . As per the Act the sub-contractor having the same footing like a contractor. In that case from V will issue by the principal employer on request of the contractor. The principal employer will take all liabilities of the contract labour engaged by sub-contractor also. For any compliance under the Act contractor will come to picture as he has engaged the sub-contractor.

Hi partners,
According to me since contractors includes subcontractors as well hence following option is available.
1. Principal Employer can issue form-V to the main contractor and the main contractor should include the name and number of the employees employed by the sub-contractor while applying for labour license. Only thing is that there should be a valid sub contract agreement between the contractor and the subcontractor.
2. Principal Employer can issue form-V to the sub contractor provided the name of the sum contractor is included in the principal employers certificate since as per the definition contractors also includes sub contractor and in the eyes of principal employer contractors and sub contractors are one and the same.
Since the principal employer is responsible for any wrong done by both the contractor and the sub-contractor, hence the end result will be the same whether he gives the form V to the sub contractor or main contractor or if the main contractor gives form-V to the sub contractor as far as principal employer is concerned.

Any responsible, designated/ or authorized employee can be delegated for this purpose on behalf of the principal Employer. While issuing form V he/She (Authorized employee) should verify issued work order in detail( i.e Specific job, validity period of the contact, strength of the maximum manpower to be deployed and deployment any sub-contractor with its provision/permission under the issued work order etc.) .
Under the Contract Labour Act -1970 , there is no word for sub-contractor. If sub-contractor will be allowed under any case the footing of the sub-contractor will be the same footing as contractor and deployed manpower by the sub-contractor will come under the definition of the Contract Labour.
