BOCW, EC, and ESI Acts: Social Welfare Legislation
BOCW, EC, and ESI Acts are social welfare legislation for the labor class. The BOCW Act pertains to the unorganized sector, while EC/ESI addresses the organized labor. The BOCW Act of 1996 applies exclusively to the construction industry, and BOCW Cess is attracted for construction worth more than Rs. 10 lakh.
Applicability of EC and ESI Acts
The EC Act of 1923 provides for the payment of compensation for employment injuries, while the ESI Act of 1948 is a multiple benefit act, including compensation for employment injuries. Where the ESI Act is applicable, the EC Act will have no applicability.
