To me labour licence requires engaging contract labour more than 19 in any day. so if the principal contractor is having valid labour licence of 1500, contractors engaging less than 20 will be covered under the licence unless otherwise it has specifically mentioned in the contract.

Dear Member,
It might be possible that your appropriate government may have issued any notification to apply the provisions of this Act to contractors employing less than twenty workmen otherwise why the labour officer is insisting on this.

Dear Mr. Sarmakpk,
If principal contractor is having labour licence of 1500, contractor workers covered under principal contractor's licence even if the contractor employees more than 20 workers.

Q. On Principle employers Registration certificate one of Contractor strength is 20 and contractor labour lic strength is 50. Is it necessary amendment in Principle employers RC.

Dear Expert ,
if a main contractor(A) engage a subcontractor under him and the sub contractor get a Form V from Principal Employer and take the labour licence separately.
My question is The Labour licence capacity of subcontractor will be come under Main contractor or not?
Secondly the all the sub contractor payments are cleared by the main contractor(A) neither Principal Employeer
Waiting for your Favorable reply.

Dear Ratikanta,

According the definition of the contractor sub-contractor is also included in the definition of the contractor under Contract Labour (R&A) Act, 1970 & therefore all the sub-contractors including main contractor are required to have contract labour licences if they are employing 20 or more workers with them. Registration Certificate must show all the details of the contractor & sub-contractors engaged with the due permission of the principal employer. Labour licence capacity of sub-contractor will not come under main contractor as both of them are showing their workers strength separately.

Dear Mr. Khola,
Thnx 4 the quick response i m full agree with your suggestion that since both main contractor and subcontractor have separate Labour License thats why subcontractor labour strength will not come under the main contractor license but my concern is
Is it defined in CLRA Acct or legally any amendment copy or any case studies to show labour office if any contractor dispute occur, since Payment of subcontractor is made by the Main contractor not Principal employer.
Waiting for your Valuable advice.

Dear Ratikanta,
Let the members know what is the dispute for which you are to clarify your position before the labour authorities ?

Dear Khola,
Currently no labour Authorities asking us. My concern is if "Any Amendment"/ "Official letter" is available to Prove Labour license capacity of sub-contractor will not come under main contractor as both of them are showing their workers strength separately. If in future any problem occur.if you have kindly circulate it too for all the members of Cite HR.
Thanking you.
