Understanding BOCW Act 1996: How Do Karnataka's Rules and Penalties Differ?

Dear all,

1. Does each state have its own rules under the BOCW Act, 1996?

2. If yes, I am requesting to share the latest document of Karnataka BOCW Rules.

3. What is the penalty imposed by the Karnataka government for undervaluation of construction or providing misinformation?

Dear friend, to my knowledge, every Central law incorporating the concept of an appropriate government or providing for special rule-making power to the state governments for the purpose of administration and enforcement of such a law in the respective state's sphere will have its own state rules framed by the respective state governments. Therefore, the State of Karnataka would have its own rules under the BOCW Act, 1996. You may browse the State Labor Department's portal for further information.
