CLRA ACT Compliance

Dear All
If contractor has engaged less than 20 workers in a Co.and also not taken licence from Labour authority.
whether is it necessary for him to maintain all register & records as prescribed under CLRA Act & is it necessary for him file a half yearly return (Form 24).
Pl. give expert advise.

Dear friend,
It is better to maintain all the forms and registers of the CLRA Act/Rules since the day the limit is reached, it will be proved from the register of workmen that the limit was not crossed till the worker before last one. However there is no requirement of filing returns untill fig is crossed.
Thanks & Regards

You may file half yearly return irrespective of the strength . you could also start to maintain statutory register & records as prescribed under CLRA Act

Dear All,
If the Principal employer registered under CLRA Act, each and every contractor must maintain all CLRA registers even though they engage less than 20 workmen.
