Understanding Labor License Validity: How Many Years Does It Last?

What is the validity (number of years) of a labor license?

Hi, are you referring to the Contract Labour License? It shall be valid for two consecutive calendar years from the year the license is granted or renewed.

Contract Labor License Validity

Contract labor licenses are typically valid for one year and can be renewed annually. However, the validity of licenses issued by the state government varies from state to state.

We applied for a PE license for 3 years and obtained it with no issues.

Dear Mr. Arvindvasudev,

Your question is unclear; hence, if you wish to ask any question, kindly furnish full details for better understanding.

Based on the details available in CiteHR, I assume you are working in Karnataka and inquiring about the validity of the Labor License issued to a contractor under CLRA.

Validity of Labor License in Karnataka

If my assumption is correct, according to Rule 27 of CLRA Karnataka Rules, the validity of the Labor License is for 12 months, the same as the Central Rules. The provision states:

"Every License granted under Rule 25 or renewed under Rule 29 shall remain in force for twelve months from the date of granted or renewed."

Clarification on PE License

Regarding your query, Suresh Rathi, there is no document called a "PE license" under CLRA. It is the "Registration Certificate" issued to the Principal Employer, which is a one-time document and is "Amended" as and when required.
