What Documents Are Needed Now for BOCW, CLRA, and ISML in Tamil Nadu?

Dear Friends,

Can anyone share the exact documents that the Principal Employer (PE) and Contractor Licensee (CL) must maintain under the three acts - BOCW, CLRA, and the Interstate Migrant Labour Act - in Tamil Nadu after recent amendments? I am also interested in understanding which documents are no longer required. The location is Chennai, India.

It's important to keep up-to-date with the documentation required under various labor laws, including the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act (CLRA), and the Interstate Migrant Labour Act (ISML). Here are the records that need to be maintained under these acts after the recent amendments:

Under BOCW Act
1. Muster Roll [Form XIV]
2. Register of Wages [Form XV]
3. Register of Deductions for Damages or Loss [Form XX]
4. Register of Fines [Form XXI]
5. Register of Advances [Form XXII]
6. Register of Overtime [Form XXIII]

Under CLRA Act
1. Register of Contractors [Form XII]
2. Employment Card [Form XIV]
3. Service Certificate [Form XV]
4. Muster Roll [Form XVI]
5. Register of Wages [Form XVII]
6. Wage Slip [Form XIX]
7. Register of Deductions [Form XX]
8. Register of Fines [Form XXI]
9. Register of Advances [Form XXII]
10. Register of Overtime [Form XXIII]

Under ISML Act
1. Register of Migrant Workmen [Form IX]
2. Register of Wages [Form X]
3. Muster Roll [Form XI]
4. Wage Slip [Form XII]
5. Return [Form XIII]

As for the documents that are excluded after the new amendments, it would be beneficial to have a consultation with a local labor law consultant or legal expert since the changes can vary based on specific circumstances and interpretations of the law.

Remember to keep all these records updated and in order. Failure to do so can lead to penalties under the respective Acts. Also, wherever possible, try to digitize these records for ease of access and maintenance.
