A contractor has applied to the principal employer (CPSU) for issuing Form V along with the work order copy and a declaration that the contractor will engage 350 contract workmen.

My queries are:

1. Whether the principal employer, having a labor license for 200 contract workmen on any day, can issue Form V to the contractor for engaging 350 contract workers.

2. What documents are needed for the issuance of Form V?

3. Is it Form V or Form III as the PE is a central PSU?

4. Is there an online facility available?

5. If yes, then how to log in, whether from the PE or Contractor login ID.

Dear SsR,

Let me answer your queries as follows:

1) The registration fee under Rule 26(1) of the CLRA Central Rules, 1971 has been fixed with reference to the range of the number of contract labor to be engaged, such as 20, above 20 to 50, above 50 to 100, above 100 to 200, above 200 to 400, and above 400. Therefore, such a Principal Employer (PE) can issue Form V provided he applies for an amendment of the registration certificate by remitting the additional fee.

2) You should have your own approved register of contractors and work orders relating to the contract work to be assigned. You have to verify those documents with the particulars furnished by the contractor in his application for the grant of Form V.

3) It is Form V; Form III is the register of registration to be maintained by the Registering Authority.

(4) and (5) - I have no idea.

We have taken a contract to provide more than 20 security guards to one organization under the Central Government. The deployment of these guards is at different sites in India, and no site has more than one guard deployed at the premises. However, the total number of guards under this single contract is more than 20. Do we need to obtain a labor license?"
