Dear Vivek,
The Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition (CLRA) Act in India is designed to regulate the employment of contract labor and ensure they receive certain benefits and rights. While I can provide general information, it's important to consult with a legal or tax professional for specific and up-to-date advice tailored to your contractor's situation.
Half-Yearly Return:
Contractors are usually required to submit a half-yearly return to the appropriate authorities. This return should contain details about the contract labor employed during that period, the nature of work, and other relevant information.
Annual Return:
An annual return is often required, summarizing the details of contract labor employed throughout the year. This report may include information such as the number of contract laborers, the nature of work, and compliance with various provisions of the CLRA Act.
Registers and Records:
Contractors are generally required to maintain registers and records containing details of contract labor, their work, wages, and other relevant information. These records may need to be produced during inspections by labor officials.
It's important to note that specific requirements may vary, and the contractor should refer to the CLRA Act and any guidelines issued by the labor department in Maharashtra for detailed information.
Since labor laws can be complex and subject to change, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional or a chartered accountant who is well-versed in Indian labor laws. They can provide accurate and up-to-date information based on the specific circumstances of the contractor and any recent changes in regulations.

The answer is simple, and there is no need to copy-paste from Chat GPT.
Annual Return Filing Requirements
The contractor needs to file an annual return each year under CLRA. They may need to file other applicable returns (e.g., under the Shop and Establishment Act, Bonus Act). The Contract Labour Department is not fully online, and as far as I know, you can file the returns online.
Changes in Maharashtra Return Filing
The half-yearly return was abolished in Maharashtra in 2021.
There is also an annual return to be filed by the principal employer (unless they are filing a combined return under the Factory Act), so please do not forget that.
