We have engaged contract labor in our company. Accordingly, we had obtained Registration of Contractors (RC) from the appropriate authority. Is it necessary to renew/amend the RC on a yearly basis, even though there is no change in contractor, nature of work, and strength?

There is no need to amend the Contract Licence unless and until there is any change in the number of employees and other parameters. Renewal of the licence, of course, is necessary before the expiry of the existing licence, which is issued for a fixed period by paying the required fees fixed by the state government. Are you talking about J&K state? I have no ready answer for J&K.

There is no provision for the renewal of the Registration Certificate under the Contract Labour (R&A) Act, 1970, or the Contract Labour (R&A) Central Rules, 1971. The Registration Certificate needs to be amended whenever there is a change in the contractor, the number of workers employed by the contractor, or even a change in the designation of the Principal Employer. If there is an increase in the number of workers in the RC, an additional fee must be paid. If the maximum registration fee has already been paid, there is no need to pay an additional fee. It is advisable to amend the RC at least once a year if there are no frequent changes in the contractors or the number of contract labours.

Dear Sandip,
Strictly speaking, in response to your query, the answer is 'NO'. This is because there has been no change in the contractor, nature of work, or workforce.
If there are any additions or deletions in contractors, nature of work, workforce, etc., you need to inform the Licensing Authority and make the necessary amendments along with the relevant fees.

Dear friends,
Please find attached various forms/formats under CLRA Rules (Central) which are self-explanatory. Registration of Establishment (CoR) and License are in two different formats. If any state government rules prescribe different forms/procedures, they also need to be noted.
