Please any one expanded objective of this act

As per my knowledge there is no specific law regarding your question. there is a self certification scheme to avoid inspections from labour department. it is 5 yeras renewal scheme. there is a provision in this scheme to inspect the compliances, once in a five years.

I think you are talking of the act called : THE LABOUR LAWS (EXEMPTION FROM FURNISHING RETURNS AND MAINTAINING REGISTERS BY CERTAIN ESTABLISHMENTS) ACT, 1988
It refers to a common single return and 1 register that very small factories (i think with less than 20 employees) is required to give. You can google and you will get the bare-act
