Navigating Tamil Nadu's Labor Licenses: How Do I Get Started with These Registrations?

Hi friends,

I need to get licenses for my company under the following:
1. The Tamil Nadu Labour Rules
2. Inter-State Migrant Workmen
3. Building and other Construction Workers Act

Please let me know the procedures to get them and from which office I can get these licenses in Tamil Nadu.

Thanks,
Suradha

Dear Suradha, you'll be guided through the relevant requirements here in this link: [Government of Tamilnadu - Labour Department](http://www.labour.tn.gov.in/Labour/statutory.jsp).

There are Chartered Accountants and advocates in every town and city who, as consultants, can facilitate all your requirements for a fee. Additionally, there are District-level Directors of Industries and Commerce who can assist in setting up industries and other businesses. If you let us know which district you are interested in, I can provide you with their addresses and contact information.

If you have any other specific queries, feel free to raise them here.

All the best.

My company is doing contract work for a principal employer. I want to obtain an Interstate Migrant License, BOCW License, and CLRA License. Can anyone please provide me with the contact details of a CA or lawyer who is an expert in contract labor and can help with obtaining these licenses?

Thanks,
Suradha

Do you want to know how many laborers can be engaged locally? If yes, there are no restrictions; you are free to engage any number of laborers not only from the local area but also from outside. However, once you engage laborers, you have to obtain registrations under labor law, EPF, ESIC, etc., as may be applicable under these acts.
