Seeking Details on Security Guard Boards Across Maharashtra: Can You Help?

In Maharashtra, the Maharashtra Government formed a Security Guards Board for Brihan Mumbai & Thane District. Similarly, the Maharashtra Government set up a Security Guards Board for Nashik, Raigad, Nagpur, Pune, and Aurangabad.

I appreciate it if information about the Security Guards Boards for Nashik, Raigad, Nagpur, Pune, and Aurangabad is made available, e.g., acts or rules, contact details including address, website, area of the board, pay scales, etc.

Thanks & regards, Madhukar Sonavane

Rules are the same for the entire Maharashtra since it is a State act. Contact details can be obtained from the Labor department of the concerned district.

Dear All,

We are having a security agency in which there are fourteen guards and two supervisors. The problem is that the agency does not provide payments or any other benefits to its employees; hence, the guards are not performing their duties properly. Our management has decided to discontinue the agency and hire the same guards under our company's payroll.

If we proceed with the above plan, are there any potential issues? Or are there any other solutions? While these guards are proficient in their duties, they are not satisfied with the agency.

What steps should be taken to hire the same guards from the agency and discontinue the agency?

Please respond urgently.

Regards,

Stanley

Please provide me with the Guard Board Letter regarding the 3% Levy and the latest Dearness Allowance rate.

With Warm Regards,

Hello,

There is a big no-no from the industrial sector such as Tata Infomedia, BASF, Galaxy, Surfactants, Inox India Pvt. Ltd, and Nocil regarding guard board services offered by them not being up to the mark. Secondly, there is a union bound to happen in your company, and then there is somewhat forceful service that even if you want to terminate the guard board service, you won't be able to due to the security guard board herein referred to as SGB, because of the legal problems they create for the company as well as for upcoming security agencies. The rates are too high as per top-notch security service agencies, and the rates do not match the services provided by SGB. The payment has to be cleared by the 7th of every month, or a penalty of 10% will be incurred. Moreover, there are a lot of clauses; hence, it's better to hire a private agency.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is advisable to hire a private agency, pay them well, but also ensure that they comply by duly paying E.S.I.C., P.F., and service tax. Private agencies are not permanent, so in case you need to replace them, it's quite easy, which is not the same as with SGB.

I have mentioned earlier, too, that the Security Guards Board Act of 1983 is a state act, and the regulations are the same for the entire Maharashtra. There is no variance district-wise as far as rules and the act are concerned. However, there can be differences in the minimum wages prescribed by each district board.

Registers Required by Maharashtra Security Guard Board

Which registers should be maintained by the Maharashtra Security Guard Board/Security Agency at any establishment?

Every employer agency shall comply with the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (XI of 1948); the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (IV of 1936); the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (XXXIX of 1972); the Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (XIX of 1952); and the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 (XXXVII of 1970); or any other Act as may be applicable to them, for the time being. Therefore, registers relevant to all the above acts, plus the ones prescribed by the guard board, may be maintained.

Kindly provide me notification of the Guard Board Wages Act for Ratnagiri district. We currently follow the Minimum Wages Act for Ratnagiri district. If there is any notification for the Guard Board Wages Act, please forward it to me.

Thank you.
