Dear All,
We are manufacturing the driveshafts/axles for commercial vehicles in Satara, Maharashtra. Can you tell me if the Mathadi Act is applicable to this type of company? If yes, please specify under which section or schedule it is applicable. We have a labor contract with two labor contractors who provide us with labor. Other employees are on the muster of the company. We provide Provident Fund to all employees, including labor contract workers. If we want to be exempt from this act, what steps should we take? Or is it possible to obtain an exemption from this act? Our company is a joint venture between a US-based company and a local company with a registered office in Pune. Therefore, please assist in resolving our query.
Thanks,
Rohan

The Mathadi Act of 1969 applies to the unprotected employees/unprotected Manual workers or the employees engaged in any scheduled employment (it is the schedule given in the Act which contains the list of those for whom the Act is applicable, so please go through the Schedule to know the applicability of the Act in your case....... (refer last pages of the given document, link is provided below ...

If you fall under that scheduled list then No exemptions are provided and it is binding.............
It is usually applicable to the loading and unloading kind of manual works.....
(The SC’s recent judgment has not only upheld applicability of the Mathadi Act to industrial units, but also interpreted the meaning of ‘unprotected workers’ to include all manual workers employed directly or otherwise.
Thus, even direct workers as well as contract labour engaged in manual work have to register themselves with the Mathadi Board. SC Judgement in 2011)
