Dear Friends,
Learned members have defined the badli worker correctly as a worker who is appointed in the post of a permanent worker or of a probationer who is temporarily absent. As defined, a badli worker is given a job when there is temporary absence by any regular worker. In textiles, this badli worker system was in vogue.
In this system, badli workers used to report to the gate of the mill every day, every shift. If any permanent/regular worker remained absent, then the supervisor had the choice to select a person present at the gate from the badli pool and put him in the place of the permanent/regular worker who was absent.
I am not aware of this system being run today. However, if it is still in practice, the badli person should be included in the PF, ESI, and Labour Welfare Fund. Badli workers of Mumbai Textiles are exempted from Profession Tax. They have been badli workers for many years, some even for more than 15 years, without making any claims of any nature.
Such badli workers do not work for 240 days in any 12 months, so they cannot claim permanency. They get work as and when it is available due to the temporary absence of a regular worker. If any regular worker goes on leave, then there was a practice of filling the leave vacancy and not taking any person from the badli pool.
