Are There Special Labor Laws for Artisans in Jaipur? Seeking Resources and Insights

Hi all, are there any specific laws applicable to artisans in Jaipur? Any websites or information related to labor laws for the artisans would be of great help.

Your question is not exhaustive and is not clear. You can confirm whether the unit in which an artisan worker is working is either a "factory" or a "shop." You can say whether the unit is manufacturing something or is selling services or goods.

Labor Laws Applicability

A majority of labor laws, to my knowledge, apply to either "factory" or "shop and commercial establishment." To my knowledge, there are no separate labor laws applicable exclusively to "artisans."

I think there are no specific laws for creative workers; only local applicable customs, prevailing wage rates, and other privileges should be observed, similar to the situation with cine artisans.

Thank you for the reply  It is related to the block printing industry. Are there any specific sites where I can get more specific labor laws related to this industry, or can we consider this industry as coming under the normal scope of other industries? Any information would be of great help 

Thank you for responding. Any information or laws related to the artisanal workers in Jaipur (Block Printing industry) would be of great help.

So far as I understand, there are specific laws relating to some industries or jobs, such as Sales Promotion Employees and Working Journalists & Newspaper Employees. However, there are no specific laws relating to artisans in specific block-making units in the textiles or garments industry. You can search for the same on the internet if available.

I understand that such artisan employees will be covered under the same laws that cover their fellow employees in any unit. If the unit qualifies as a "factory," then all labor laws applicable to such "factories" apply. In case it is a "shop and commercial establishment," then all labor laws applicable to such units apply.

For example, from the notifications of minimum wages as fixed by the appropriate governments, I believe you can find the minimum wages fixed for artisans, carpenters, casual labor, etc., in garments or textile industries or units if separately classified by the State Government.

You can search and download various labor laws from the website of the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Central Government. You can also download other related information and rules from the websites of the Labour Department or Ministry of Labour, State Government of Rajasthan.
