BOCW Act - Building and Other Construction Workers Rules - PPT Download

Dear Mr. Umakanthan
The BOCW act is applicable whoever engaging the workforce involved at construction or building activities. In BOCW there is no such PE. It says only Employer. Hence the PE, Contractor, Sub-Contractors are to obtain the Registration Certificate by applying in Form I. Then the Contractors will have to maintain all the relevant statutory documents (Wages, Muster Rolls, OT Register,) and Technical related documents (Periodical inspection of lifting gears, wire rope, hoist, and other equipments being used for construction purpose), welfare related documents (Canteen Price list, Medical check up of all workers (Pre employment and periodical medical check up), Hygiene & Sanitation Records) and whenever the BOCW Inspector is visiting the site, the above documents must be produced on demand.

Dear Mr. Umakanthan

I have a question.
1.What if the factory is running and Government department force you to submit the the CESS?? Also If for a factory or for a building
2.if we are covering all the building workers under EPF and ESIC Act, than what is the requirement of of the payment of this CESS.
3. what is computation of cess?? on what basis cess to be PAID?? If we are making a factory and the procject is of 5CR including electrical fitting, A/C, Lights, etc do we need to pay the CESS on this also.

Dear Sir,
We are registered BOCW act, Punjab. We are paying regularly @1%. Some clarification required
1. CESS to be paid against my Contract Value? incase my execution will be more or less than my contract value. for example my contract value is 100 Crore , during execution it may increase or decrease. either 90 Crore or 110 Crore. 1% will be calculated on actuals or original contract value?
2. CESS says 1% of construction cost. My contract value includes material, machineries and my profit also. How to find the construction cost? or we have to pay the 1% flat
3. Is CESS is applicable for the settlement is made due to idle or delay in project
4. Is CESS is applicable for any other works / supplies done which does not involve labour works
5. Is CESS payable after the payment receipt from Customer/ principle employer
Thanking you

Dear Arivu
Now whatever you pay the BOCWW Cess the authorities will accept and on completion of the project, the authorities will inspect your project and evaluate the cost of the construction and accordingly they may or may not ask you to pay more BOCWW Cess.
