Dear Anal Kurpe, Form V attached by one of our members relates to units where the Government of Karnataka is the appropriate government. In your case, you should utilize the Form V provided by the Gujarat Contract Labour (R&A) Rules, 1972. According to the Labour Department site of Gujarat, Form V may be read as follows:
FORM V
[See rule 21 (2)]
Form of Certificate by Principal Employer
Certificate that I have engaged the applicant (name of the contractor) as a contractor in my establishment. I undertake to be bound by all the provisions of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, and the Central Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Central Rules, 1971, insofar as the provisions are applicable to me in respect of the employment of contract labour by the applicant in any establishment.
Signature of principal employer:
Name and address of the establishment:
Place:
Date:
After reviewing the format of this Form V, it is aligned with the Central Rules of 1971. In my view, instead of the Central Rules, it should be as follows: The Gujarat Contract Labour (R&A) Rules, 1972. For further clarification on the matter, you may contact your area Labour Office or the office of the Licensing Officer.
