Friends,
Presently Labour Laws (Exemption from Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by certain Establishments) Act 1988 provides for exemption from maintain registers and filing returns under various labour laws only to establishments employing upto 19 persons. The Act has now been amended with a view to expand coverage of the Act.
Pl find attached Labour Laws (Exemption from Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by certain Establishments) Amendment Act 2014 which has received the assent of the President on 9th December 2014 and will come into force on a date to be notified by the Govt. in the Official Gazette. It provides for the following:
i) To revise the definition of the expression ‘small establishment’ so as to cover those establishments in which not less than ten and not more than forty persons are employed or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months within the meaning of that expression instead of not less than 10 and not more than 19 persons, as at present;
ii) To provide for maintenance of registers and returns in computer, computer floppy, diskette or other electronic media and to submit returns through electronic mail;
iii) To substitute the First Schedule to the Act for applying the provisions of the Act to 16 enactments in place of 9 enactments as at present; and
iv) To substitute the Second Schedule to the Act to specify new forms instead of the present forms A, B, C, D and E.
Thanks
