Labour License - less than 50 employees - contractor & sub-contractor will get exemption?

With regard to labour license, i have following queries.
1) Is Principal Employer certificate (existing valid upto Dec-18) is required to be renewed, even if none of the contractors (in individual capacity) have 50 or more employees ?
2) Is a contractor company required to obtain/ renew labour license, if its own employees are only 18, but its sub-contractor has about 38 employees ? or both contractor & sub-contractor will get exemption ?
Kindly send your valuable opinions at the earliest.

Hi Aneesh,
Below mentioned is a clarification.
1. Principal Employer- If contract employees are above 49 numbers, then PE need to obtain CLRA registration certificate.
2. If Contractor or Sub contractor (in Individual capacity) deploy above 49 contract employees, then he need to obtain CLRA license.
Please note that, contractor and sub contractor should have proper agreement in place.

Dear Pravin,
1) If the principal employer employees contractor A with 18 employees and contractor B with 52 employees , will he be required to register both contractor A and contractor B ? or he should register only contractor B.
2) Is CLRA applicable when a turnkey contract is awarded to a contractor ,e.g. civil works with material or electrical works with material.

If the principal employer employees contractor A with 18 employees and contractor B with 52 employees , will he be required to register both contractor A and contractor B ? or he should register only contractor B. - Irrespective of total count not less than 20 PE is bound to have RC for engaging all the contractors. only in mentioned case as per Maharashtra Rules contractor with manpower less than 50 is exempted to take license for work as count is less than 50
2) Is CLRA applicable when a turnkey contract is awarded to a contractor ,e.g. civil works with material or electrical works with material. - Yes
