Dear Kalsi,
I really appreciate your views. However, Mr. PK Singh in his initial post has asked the forum whether any provision exists in reducing the licensed strength from the existing numbers or not. But, whether to go for it or not is not debated.
My intention was to inform the forum that it is allowed under the legislation, but due to the interpretation of various authorities, it is generally denied. It is not only the license fees but other expenses are also involved based on the number of workers in the license, which is well understood by the members.
And through this post, I would like to inform the forum that the amendment includes reduction also but if the number is increased, then we may have to pay the additional fees including security deposit. Since I have done two amendments in two different states, I thought it to be useful for others also, who are in genuine need to go for reduction.
Regards,
P. Vathiraj
