Contractor issued one-month advance termination letters to all his contract workers, even though his contract is about to conclude in a month. Is it necessary? Is it in order? What is the intention behind the Contractor's letter?

Look at it this way, at least the contractor is giving you one month's notice so that you can look for other jobs. This is also a kind of advance notification or reminder that the end of the contract date is approaching.

Dear friend,
The notice is a declaration by the contractor that the employee's service will not be required by him after the expiry of the notice period for the reasons stated therein. It is necessary in the interest of both the contractor and the employees.

So, what is your actual problem? If his contract is expiring, he needs to terminate workers. Do you expect him to pay workers one month's notice pay after work finishes? Are you willing to pay him that differential? Aren't his intentions clear enough? I don't understand what your actual problem is.

Dear Mr. Samba,
This is a legal requirement if any contractor engages contractual manpower at any site. At the time of closure of the contract, he is supposed to give one month's notice to the employees. Because removing the contractual employees all of a sudden (on the end of the contract) will be a wrong decision from a legal and ethical point of view.
You have not specified whether you are from PE (Principal Employer) or a contractual manpower; also, specify the nature of the contract. If the contract is ending from the contractor's point of view only, but the contracted work will continue with another contractor, in that case, the contractual manpower can be enrolled by the new contractor (depending on the nature of work, the nature of the contract, etc).
But to keep himself safe, the contractor has taken the right decision on his part.

Thank you for the response. I am neither a contractor, nor a PE or worker. I am voluntarily working for the welfare of the contract workers. I might have failed to put my question in the right way. As I know, any time-bound contract automatically comes to an end as soon as the period is completed. It goes with the contract terms and conditions.
If a contractor conveys an advance one-month termination notice, this creates fear in the minds of the workers. What I have observed is that in the first instance, there is no need for notice by anybody. Even if notice is issued "One month notice conveying that services are terminated and their F and F would be settled." I fear that by issuing a termination notice alone (though there is no need), is there anything that goes against the interest of the worker and/or bars him from claiming anything due after the contract period. Please respond.

The contractor runs a business and not a charity. Why would he pay many things to the contract workers after the contract work is over? Where will the money come from to pay them? And if he does not give them termination notice with a month's notice pay, people like you will come hounding him for unfair termination.

When one starts working for a cause, he/she should first learn/read about the laws/conditions governing the same. Visit the areas where they work, join some NGO working for welfare. I appreciate your willingness to work for the welfare of workers, but pick up a lot of knowledge about laws, social conditions, etc., to be of real use to those you want to help. The query was not well-formulated and resulted in getting the answers as posted above. The action of the contractor in forewarning his contract employees is correct to that extent. One month hence, the contract concludes - the idea being to look around for alternate employment.
