Dear all, are any of you aware of the non-applicability of ESIC to building construction workers?

Dear Rajalakshmi, please go through the attached circular. I hope it helps.

Dear Colleague, Referring to the above post, as far as my knowledge goes, the matter of ESI for construction workers is pending before the Honorable Supreme Court of India since 2018. Are there any recent updates on this important subject that have occurred post that? If so, kindly share with everyone for the benefit of understanding. I have enclosed an attachment on the subject from ESIC from 2018. I hope the status is still maintained. You may check with ESIC for further updates.

Thank you, everyone, for the valued comments and sharing. I presume then that taking insurance through the EC Act will be the option for the construction workers.

Regards

Dear Members,

Exemption of BOCW Act for Low-Income Group Houses

Is there any exemption of the BOCW Act for low-income group (only ground floor) houses under PMAY?

Labour Contract License Requirements in Tamil Nadu

Further, I understand that in Maharashtra state, a Labour Contract License is applicable if a contractor has more than 50 employees. Is it the same case in Tamil Nadu as well, or does TN need a contract license if the employee count is more than 20?

Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

Expect the expert opinion.
