Navigating Labor Laws: Do We Need Registrations for Providing Labor in Telangana?

business-wheel
We have an office in Maharashtra only; however, we are providing labor in Telangana as well. Do we need to take PTRC, Shop, and establishment registration in Telangana too? What is the applicability for obtaining a contract labor license in Telangana?

Professional Tax and State Government Levies

Professional Tax is levied by every State Government on every individual earning income through any employment within its territorial jurisdiction.

Shops & Establishments Act

The Shops & Establishments Act covers all business establishments, including branches, in their respective geographic areas within the State as separate entities for the purpose of the Act.

Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition (CLRA) Act of 1970

The CLRA Act of 1970, although a Central Act with the concept of dual appropriate Government, has territorial divisions for enforcement purposes. Therefore, registration and licensing under the Act automatically become distinct requirements based on area-wise administrative units under the same Act.

Compliance Across State Borders

The presence of these factual features would compel any entity operating from one State but supplying labor on a contract basis to an entity functioning in another State to comply with all the legal requirements of the host State as well. It is immaterial if such an establishment has registrations and other compliances under the same or similar labor laws in its home State.

Hence, the poster's establishment should have PTRC and CLRA License in Telangana as well. Registration under the S&E Act would arise if it has any branch or administrative office in the host State.
