Dear Experts,
Seeking views on whether a subcontractor who is hiring more than 10/20 (state-specific) laborers needs to obtain a valid labor license. If so, who should issue Form V? Does the respective labor office require a work order from the Principal Employer (PE)?
Your views are appreciated as there are conflicting opinions on this matter, including among labor authorities.
Thank you.

Dear Shailesh,
As per the Contractor Act, there is no subcontractor concept. For example, A is the contractor, B is the subcontractor. A has to follow all records, licenses, and registers.

Dear Shailesh,
According to the definition of a contractor as laid down under the Contract Labour (R&A) Act of 1970, a sub-contractor is also included in this definition. The Principal Employer should issue Form V to the sub-contractor. For their satisfaction, the authority may demand a work order or contract deed.
