Hi all,
I just wanted to know if someone can trace any document or official gazette released by the government regarding the liability of the principal employer in engaging contractors or subcontractors. It would be of great help if you could help me with this.

May I know what if the contract labourer met with an accident and the liability of the principal employer in that?

In principle, yes. However, nowadays all principal employers ensure that contractors comply with all statutory requirements, including health and safety, and coverage of all workmen under the Employees' Compensation Policy before the commencement of work. Some employers are not even issuing any gate passes before fulfilling the above requirements to avoid their liability.

Dear Friend,
Mr. KK has provided a comprehensive description for your query. In short, the Principal Employer is responsible for all liabilities in case the contractor fails to comply, which may include worker's compensation as well. This is because the Principal Employer holds the registration for deploying contract labor within their premises. It is recommended to thoroughly review the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 for clarity on the subject.
