Hi Friends,

Is Form-V mandatory for Contract Labour License Renewal in Karnataka? We have a contract agreement for 200 employees, with our Principal employer currently utilizing only 50 laborers and refusing to provide Form-V, citing a reduction in manpower strength. In this scenario, do we require Form-V after submitting the renewal application online, or will the labor department request Form-V when issuing the renewed license?

Dear Member,

As per my knowledge, Form V is applicable at the time of applying for a new license only. It is not required in the renewal process.

If your contract is for 200 employees and presently you have deployed only 50 employees, still, in my opinion, you should renew the license. Because if you don't renew it and during any point of the contract period, the deployment reaches 50 or more, then it will be treated as non-compliance under the Act.

The renewal requires nominal fees only (of course, the incidental expenses will be extra). But if you don't renew or surrender the license and it is required again in the coming period, then you will have to pay the Security Deposit and License Fees again.

Seniors can provide more insights on the matter.
