Dear Friends,
As you are well aware, under the Constitution of India, Labour Law is a subject in the concurrent list where both the Central and State Govts are competent to enact legislations. As a result, a large number of labour laws have been enacted catering to different aspects like, occupational health, safety, employment, training of apprentices, fixation, review and revision of minimum wages, mode of payment, payment of compensation to workmen in accidents or causing death or disablement, bonded labour, contract labour, women labour and child labour, resolution and adjudication of industrial disputes, provision of social security such as provident fund, employees’ state insurance, gratuity, provision for payment of bonus etc.
Similarly there are different kind of status regarding registration of establishments/business entities like Factory, Shops, Traders, Contractor, Professional, Seasonal, Non Profit earning organizations etc.
The working culture and scenario is also different on basis of geographical status.
So, it is very difficult to integrate the different establishments and different people in a single pattern. But, the integration of various documents like registers/return in different labour laws is already in process. The Labour Office is issuing UIN (Unique Identification Number) of every organisation. Through the UIN we have to fill the data in a single format which will serve the purpose of different registers / documents.
Pls find attached a note (which I received from this site) on the same being issued from the Labor Office. Though I am unaware of the practical approach of the UIN for , but in long run it can be very useful for professionals (like us). This will reduce similar nature paper work of different acts in different forms.
