Thank you for your message. It appears that the labor license has not been renewed after its expiry. This situation may have various implications depending on the regulations in your jurisdiction. It is crucial to address this issue promptly to ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations.

I recommend reaching out to the relevant authorities or your HR department to inquire about the steps needed to renew the labor license. It is essential to rectify this situation as soon as possible to avoid any potential legal consequences or disruptions to your operations.

Applying for a New Labor License

As applying for labor licenses has become an online process nowadays, you have to obtain a fresh labor license since the labor department will not renew the existing one. If you have applied for renewal before the due date and have received an acknowledgment from the labor department, they are obligated to renew it even if it has expired. However, if you have not applied for renewal and the license has expired, you must acquire a new license. You can start the process of retrieving the security deposit from the labor department for the old license since you will need to submit it again for the new license.

As per Rule 29 of the Contract Labour (R & A) Rules, if the application for renewal cannot be made within the time specified, a fee of 25% in excess of the fee normally payable for the license shall be payable for such renewal. Therefore, you may approach the Licensing Officer and get your license renewed by paying the fees.

Hi, sir.

Insufficient information... Is yours a shop, establishment, or contract labor license center under the central or state government?

Some state government labor departments are still manual, while others are online. The central labor department is still manual in some cases. Some collect fees for three years at a time, while others charge annually. What is your case? When did it lapse?
