Dear Friends,
Can anyone tell under CLA. 1970 contractor means what ?
Any MNC allotting work to another MNC to accomplish certain work in office premises, do need to get labour licence under CLA, 1970 ?
Any MNC allotting work to another MNC to accomplish certain work in town ship premises, do need to get labour licence under CLA, 1970 ?
also e.g.
If a company is awarded work to construct a city road, does it need to get the labour licence under Contract Labour Act, 1970? If yes why and if no why ?

Hi,
in both the cases you need to apply for Contractor Licence for engaging contractor's Labourers and the same is mandatory. Since you are not engaging them directly the requirement is must.

Dear member
A contarctor means a person who undertakes to produce a given result for the establishmentother or the one who supplies contarct labour to an establishment.whether such person or firm is a contractor or not depends up on the nature of contract and the status in which both the companies conduct themselves in the busines relationship.Not in every case, a company who undertakes the work assigned to it by another comapny will become a contractor.However in the vague examples , given by you, it is diffucult to come to any conclusion.

thx , but if power grid allots some work to L&T which subsequently hires few contractors to finsih the work, the will these contractors shall have any relation with power grid ? shall power grid have duty to issue form V to these sub contractors and shall it have duty to check compliance by these sub contractors ?

If Power Grid alotts some work to L&T and if such work is connected with it's establishment(Power Grid's), then Power Grid is the Principal employer and and L&T is the contacator and the definition of contarctor under the CLRA Act includes sub-contarctors. Form 5 is to be submitted in terms of Reg.26 under ESI Act. Regulation 26 calls up on every 'employer' to submit the return in respect of employees engaged through Principal employer and immediate employer (who is a contarctor).Thus employer within the meaning of Reg.26 means Power Grid.Therefore, in my view, Form 5 may be issued by Power Grid for the contract labour employed by L&T even through subcontarctors since the definition of contractor inclusdes sub-contarctors also under CLRA Act 1970

Power grid may called principal employer and the L&T is contractors for the
power grid. The Powergrid have to apply with labour dept., for the Registration of certificated otherwise called RC. Once its registered then nly the L&T can obtain his workers licen. from the authorities Here the Powergrid RC is necessary. When ever the labour inspector visits the site or the premises of the powergrid may check the L&T details also.(they are paying PF/ESI and other compliances are to be made in connection with labour laws under clra act. The contractors need not follow the form V of the principal employer.(Powergrid)
