Contract Labour Act Registers: Are You Keeping Up with Other Required Registers Too?

If I have maintained all registers under the Contract Labour Act, then I want to know if the registers required by other acts are also being maintained.

Dear Nilesh,

When multiple Acts are applicable to a particular establishment, it is imperative that the employer fully complies with the provisions of the respective Rules prescribing the maintenance of specific registers and forms of notices. These documents are indicators of the extent of compliance with the respective Acts.
