Dear professionals, we are main contractors in the construction industry, and my principal employer has already obtained BOCW registration and is paying cess in Chennai and Pune. My question is, does the contractor also need to acquire BOCW registration since labor inspectors are insisting that we do so? Please guide me on this matter.

My conclusions are:
BOCW Registration Requirements
As per the BOCW Act, if the number of deployments exceeds 10, BOCW Registration is necessary. Your recent post indicates that "Contractors do not need to pay cess, as it is the principal employer's liability. However, I am unsure about the BOCW Registration."
The matter of Cess arises only after obtaining BOCW Registration. This is for your information.

BOCW Registration and Cess Payment Inquiry
The post mentions that the Principal Employer (PE) is registered under BOCW and is paying Cess for construction works in Chennai and Pune. As your posting is from Bengaluru, it is unclear whether you are asking about the payment of Cess for construction works being carried out in Bengaluru?
