Hi, my client is a central government entity engaging contract labor for repair, maintenance, running of generators, housekeeping, security, and various other tasks. Is BOCW Cess applicable to all of the above? Please advise.
The work of repair, maintenance, running of generators, housekeeping, security, and multiple tasks does not fall under the BOCW Act; therefore, no payment of cess is required.
The BOCW Act and cess payable are applicable to construction work. However, the act does not apply to factories or mines, even if some construction is being carried out on the premises.
