What are the statutory obligations for the Principal employer to follow in a factory if labour contractor employs more than 20 people?

Dear Mr.Maneesh,
Please go through bare acts of Factories Act, 1948 and Contract Labour (R&A) Act, 1972 for details.

Dear G_maneesh,
Statutory obligations of PE under CLRA are as under:
1. Obtain RC. Amend it as & when required. Renew it every year.
2. Issue Form V to contractors who are liable to apply for licence.
3. Maintain register of Contractors.
4. Certify the payments to contract labours made in his presence.
5. Submit annual return every year.
Statutory obligations of PE under other than CLRA:
Ensure that the contractor makes proper complaince of applicable labour laws to him as well as to PE. Whatever labour laws applicable to PE, are applicable to contractor's labour automatically irrespective of labour engaged by contractor.
Hope I have made it very clear to you.
