Navigating Labor Laws: Do We Need Both Migrant and Contract Labor Licenses for Our Project?

Hi, we are contractors having a civil construction project in Tamil Nadu state, and we have employed interstate migrant workers for the job. Therefore, we need to obtain the license under The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979. Could you please advise if we also need to comply with The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970?

Thanks

You have to comply with the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, as you are a contractor.

Furthermore, you are required to obtain a license under the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, for the engagement of 10 or more workmen from a state other than Tamil Nadu.
