Dear Mr. Kumar,
Please suggest how to start a recruitment agency and what procedures are required. What documents do I need?
I am working in the Gulf with a multinational company, and my company is willing to provide me with visas to bring candidates from India. However, they require me to either start my own manpower consultancy or become a partner with an existing licensed agency. Currently, I am inclined to join a consultancy that already possesses a license.
Sir, please advise me on the best course of action. If I decide to partner with someone, what procedures should I follow to ensure my safety and for future transactions?
Kindly provide your suggestions.
Awaiting your reply.
Best Regards,
Neha

Hi Mehul,
This is as per our discussion, please find below the query that I have related to overseas recruitment. I'm from a marketing company, and we are into outsourcing as well. We need to recruit some people abroad, probably in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and some neighboring countries. I want to know what the legal formalities we need to adhere to and what are the legal issues associated with this. If we pay the salary to a person working abroad, do we need to pay tax here for that? Also, will that person be following the location's tax laws or the laws of India? Additionally, is it compulsory to have an office in that particular location where we want to recruit people?
I will be waiting for your reply.

Re: License for Overseas Manpower Recruitment
Protector General of Emigrants in MOIA, New Delhi, is the authority responsible for protecting the interests of Indian workers going abroad. PGE is also the registering authority to issue a Registration Certificate to the Recruiting Agents (RAs) for overseas manpower exporting business.
The powers of the Protector General of Emigrants are as follows:
1. Power to grant the Registration Certificate (RC) under Sections 11 and 12 of the Emigration Act, 1983, and renew the same under Section 13 of the Act.
2. Power to suspend, cancel, and revoke the RC under Section 14 of the Act.
3. Power to issue permits to the foreign employer (FE) and Project Exporter (PE) under Chapter IV of the Act.
4. Power to sanction prosecution for offenses and penalties under Sections 24 and 25 of the Act.
5. Power to search, seize, and detain persons/conveyance, etc., conferred to an officer of customs under the Customs Act, 1962.
6. Power to prescribe any return, record, or register for the RAs and inspect the same at their office under Section 36 of the Act.
7. Power of the civil court under Section 37 of the Act.
8. Power to perform all or any of the functions assigned to any POE under Section 3(4) of the Act.
The Government Registration Fee is INR 25,000 only, but the problem is, "The applicant is required to deposit a Bank Guarantee of Rs.20 Lakhs".
The registration process and other formalities are not so difficult to comply with if you know the correct procedure.
You can do it yourself or take the services of a consultant like me. The choice is yours.
