Labour License - Corporate Office

I have been posted at a regional office (office for the entire district) in West Bengal. The problem is the Corporate office is asking us to get all the contractors obtain labour license. But we do have contractors with less than 10 labour. But company wants them to get a license too. I am getting confused since it is clearly mentioned in Contract labour (R&A) Act that contractors having less than 10 labor need not get a license. Someone please clear out my confusion.

It is true that only contractors who engage 20 workers are required to take licence but at the same time engaging contractors having contract labour licences is safe for the company. Therefore, you can give form V stating that you propose to engage 20 workmen through the contractor to whom it is issued and with that the contractor can take licence. It is immaterial whether you engage that much of contract labour through the said contractor.
