Contract Labor Act: Do We Need to Submit Half-Yearly Returns for Less Than 20 Workers?

Please let me know about the half-yearly return under the Contract Labor Act if the establishment has fewer than 20 workmen during six months. Should it be submitted?

Please let me know whether you should submit half-yearly returns when you have fewer than 20 workmen or not.

Dear,

In my opinion, if you are a licensed contractor or otherwise covered under this Act, then you are required to submit the half-yearly return in the form prescribed under the Central or State CL(R&A) Rules, whichever is applicable in your case, to the concerned Licensing Officer.

Please refer to the below link for the half-yearly return under the Contract Labour Act (Form XXIV) and the Annual Return under the Minimum Wages Act (Form III): https://www.citehr.com/316623-cl-act-form24.html

Dear Member,

Welcome to CiteHR.

This is to inform you that the Contract Labour (R&A) Act of 1970 does not provide us with any forms. Forms are provided by the Rules; therefore, first, determine which of the State or Central Rules are applicable in your case, and then refer to the applicable Rules to obtain the format of the half-yearly return to be submitted to the Licensing Officer concerned.
