Dear All,
I want to know if the Half Yearly Return under the Contract Labour Act in Maharashtra is applicable. I got to know that Half Yearly Return is now abolished, and only Yearly submission is there. If the Half Yearly Return is abolished, is there any notification or circular of the same?

Dear Mr. Sumit,
The Half Yearly Labour Return under the Contract Labour Act applies in two forms:
1) CL (R&A) Act, 1970 (Contract in establishments under state government jurisdiction - either government or private establishments).
2) CL (R&A) Central Rules, 1971 (Contract in establishments under Central government jurisdiction - either government or private establishments).
The forms, documents, and returns are the same under the CL (R&A) Act, 1970. However, in the Central Rules 1971 Act, Form XXIV (Return by the contractor) and Form XXV (Annual Return by the PE) have been omitted as per the notification dated 27th Dec. 2017.
For establishments where CL (R&A) Central Rules, 1971 apply, a Unified Annual Return must be filed online on the Shram Suvidha Portal of the Central Government.
Please find attached the notification for your reference.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Can anyone please share the notification stating that CLRA Half Yearly Return is Omitted/Deleted/Not applicable for contractors? Many consultants are not aware of this amendment.

Dear Member,
The Half Yearly Return has not been omitted or deleted under the Act. I have just filed many returns under the Act, including for my Delhi units as well. However, under the Central Rules, 1971, various returns have been merged. Now you need to file the annual Return (for ending Dec. every year) in the Shram Suvidha Portal. Details of the same have been provided in my above article.
Hope the above will clear any doubts. Seniors can shed more light or correct me if I am wrong.

Dear colleagues,
Please take the time to refer to the latest copy of the CLRA Act/Maharashtra Rules for the deleted notification. Refer to the schedules of Returns, and under the half-yearly return, there is a reference to the notification in the footnotes.
