Navigating Labor Laws: Can Contractors Use a Single Register for Multiple Acts?

I have a doubt about the implementation of labor laws. A contractor registered under the Contract Labor (R&A) Act and the Building & Other Construction Workers Act, Inter-State Migrant Act, is required to maintain various registers as prescribed under each act. My query is: whether the contractor is required to maintain separate registers under each act or maintain a single common register for some of the items which are common across various acts. Please clarify.

Dear Radhakrishna, please check the forms in the Various Rules. Note down the numbers and prepare a rubber stamp in the following manner:

Form XIII - CL (R&A) Rules (Refer Rule _______)

Form ____ - BOCW Rules (Refer Rule _______)

Form _____ - ISMW Rules (Refer Rule ________)

(Fill the appropriate numbers in the _____ place.)

Affix the rubber stamp on the top of every page of the Register of Workmen you are maintaining. In the same way, you can make the Rubber Stamp and affix it on the Attendance Register/Muster Roll, OT Register, Wages Sheet (in the Wages Sheet you must mention the Minimum Wages Act Form No and Rule No also). If the inspector asks for the same, you can show this. I am following the same for my site.

Thank you, Bhaskar ji. What I understand is that we can make stamps for various registers under relevant rules and affix the same on the pages, which shows that the register under reference is maintained under different acts as such. Will this be acceptable to the Labour Enforcement Officers, as the LEOs are different for various acts? Need further clarification.

Warm regards.
