Dear Madam/Sir,
We are into construction industry, and for our work recently we have taken BOC license, since our client is deduction 1% cess from our claim bill, then how to shoe it in our returns to the labour dept.
Should we obtain any certificate from our principal employer for showing the deduction under Cess.
Regards,
Nitin

Dear Nitin
Normally the Contractor should make the payment of BOCW Cess to the BOCW Commissioner. But in your case, the Principal employer themselves deducting and remitting to the BOCW Commissioner, then you need not to worry about the remittance of BOCW Cess. For the said deduction details you must be having the proof of deduction in your bills. Hence you can concentrate only on registration of your workers as Beneficiary under BOCW Act.

Dear Shri. Bhaskar ji,

Greetings of the day!

I would like to correct you with due respect to you Sir. The Cess under the BOCW Act is payable by the Principal Employer and not by Contractor(s).

This is because:

i. the assessment of cess is done on the basis of total construction cost (excluding land cost and compensation paid / payable under WC) and not on the basis of contractors billing.

ii. the information to be furnished to the assessment officer in 'Form I' is done by the Principal Employer and not by Contractor(s). The assessment order is passed on the basis of this information in 'Form I'.

However, the Principal Employer can make recovery of the cess amount from contractor's billing if it is provided in the agreement signed by both the parties. It is totally a separate issue.

I do not know if Gujarat Govt. has laid down different procedure to collect the cess.

Comments from you and other members are welcome.

Thanks and regards.
