Navigating Labor Licenses: Can You Use One State's License for Contracts Elsewhere?

Can the labor license registered in one state be used to secure contracts in other states as well?

---
This question pertains to the portability of a labor license across different states. Generally, labor licenses are issued by individual states and may not be automatically transferable to other states. Each state may have its own set of regulations and requirements for obtaining a labor license for engaging in contractual work within its jurisdiction. It is advisable to check with the relevant authorities in the specific state where you intend to operate to determine the process for obtaining the necessary licenses and permits.

There could be two meanings to the query:

1. The Labour Licence of one state can be attached with the tender/proposal of another state. In such a case, the answer is "Yes." It can be done to show that you are compliant under the CL Act. Similarly, you will need to follow the same process in another state if your proposal is accepted (contract given to you).

2. In another way, it indicates that the Labour Licence of one state is enough to do contract work in another state as well. In such a case, the answer is "No." You need to obtain a separate labour licence for every unit under the CL Act. Even if you receive two different contracts from different PEs, you still need to obtain separate labour licences as per the applicable conditions.

I hope I have clarified your points. Senior members can shed more light on the matter.
