Dear All,



I am working with a Construction company and we have sixteen Sub-contractors.
But they don�t maintain all register, EPF deduction and all legal formalities.

We deduct EPF Amount from their bill . We have contract Labour License on behalf of them.

Can we maintain all register on Behalf of them?

You have to maintain subcontractor-wise attendance register Form XIII, Wages Register, Muster Roll, OT Register, Register of Advances, Fines, and Damages or Loss Registers (Form XX, XXI & XXII). Because you have only obtained the Labour Licence under the Contractor Labour Act. So you have to maintain the same.

You must maintain Form V, Form X, and PF Account Numbers for all the workmen, and you have to submit their PF as required. Maintain their Wages Register, Attendance Register, and PF Challan remittance details equally and make sure that there should not be any variation or difference.

All the best.

Dear,

The CLRA provides that statutory coverage is to be provided at one point, primarily by the contractor. If the contractor is not an organized person or a professional, then the burden shifts to the PE.

Hi,

Your company seems to be the principal contractor of the company, and you have engaged a sub-contractor. As a principal contractor, you have to ensure that all the subcontractors meet the legal requirements for their contract workers. In your case, the sub-contractor doesn't. Hence, I request you to kindly maintain a consolidated register and record with respect to the subcontractor and other WC/ESI/PF/Minimum wages/Payment of wages/Building and other construction workers/Cess/Contract Labour/ISMW/etc.

The term "Contractor" defined in the CLA includes a subcontractor. Therefore, all that is applicable to a contractor is equally applicable to a subcontractor. In case the subcontractor does not have a license, then under the CLA, all contract labor employed by him will be deemed to have been employed by the principal contractor. This is the fallout of not asking the subcontractor to obtain a license. Your license should include the number of contract labor employed by the subcontractor.

First of all, the Principal employer has to register/add the contractor's name in the Certificate of Registration (In Form II) for which a register is maintained at the Labour Commissioner's office. If your name is not available, then you cannot obtain the License under CLA. Your PE should add your name to the Contractor's list, then only you can apply for a license under the Contract Labour Act.

Dear Alok Singh,

Mr. Bhaskar has rightly mentioned the list of registers to be maintained from your end as the principal employer. Furthermore, since your company is involved in construction work, you have to apply for registration under the BOCW Act as well. After obtaining registration, you must also ensure that all the registers/records required under this Act are maintained.

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Sharma,

We have a BOCW License; however, it is necessary to maintain all the registers under the BOCW Act & Contract Labour Act. If we prepare wages register & workmen employed by the contractor under CLA.

Mr. Bhaskar has rightly mentioned the list of registers to be maintained from your end as the principal employer. Furthermore, since your company is engaged in construction work, you have to apply for registration under the BOCW Act as well.
