BOCW Act 1996 - Please confirm what this act is about?

Thank you.

Hi,
I am attaching the abstract. Please read it for information.

This is a very controversial act when deciding the variety of functions to be covered under this act.

BOCW Act, 1996 is legislation adopted by the Revenue Department and enforced in many states through the Chief Inspector under the BOCW Act, usually the Commissioner of Labour and Employment of the particular state.

Under this Act, there is a provision for the registration of all establishments or even contractors undertaking civil-natured work. Currently, in a state like Goa, the registration fee is limited to Rs. 500 for up to 50 laborers, with a minor increase for slabs thereafter.

Once registration is obtained, the establishment or contractor so registered would pay to the appropriate authority a sum equivalent to 1% or 2% (as may be notified in the Official Gazette of the respective state) as Building and Other Constructions Cess on a self-assessment basis or financial year-wise basis.

Enquiries and scrutinies shall be conducted by the Chief Inspector for subsequent periods.

If you are interested, you may request soft copies of the bare act and explanations from me free of cost.

Dear Mr. Mehta,

The Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 is called the BOCW Act in short. As is evident from its name, this Act has been enacted by the central government for the welfare of construction workers.
