Dear All,

As per the Factory Act, if the Principal employer wants to engage contractor labor, the principal employer must first obtain contractor registration from the Labor Department. The question arises: how can this be done?

The procedure involves:
1. Drafting a letter to the Labor Department for intimation and record.
2. Making a challan (which can be obtained from the Labor Dept and submitted at an SBI branch).
3. Providing a list of Contractors.

Once these steps are completed, they should be submitted to the Labor Department. Upon receiving the license from the Labor Department, the Principal employer can proceed to make an agreement with the contractor, issue Form-5, and then the Contractor can make a challan. A letter should be drafted and submitted to the Labor Department, following which the Labor Department will issue the license to the contractor for the specific company.

This is the procedure to deploy a contractor in a factory.

Dear R. Ramamurthy,

I am from Nashik, Maharashtra, and I used to work in Nashik. However, the factory has now been relocated to Daman.

Warm regards,

Mr. Ramamurthy,

Please update the location information on your profile to reflect your current location as Daman instead of 'United States, San Jose.' This will help in providing you with more accurate responses to your queries.

Dear Mr. Barde,

If you are not engaging contract labor in your factory, there is no need to register with the Labor Department under the Contract Labor Act as the Principal Employer. Your Factory License reflects the strength of your employment.

Dear Ramesh Lawande,

Everybody has given guidance according to their wisdom. Now, let me also try to clarify your doubts:

1. As you have subsequently mentioned that you have registered your factory under FA while at Nasik, which has now moved to Daman. In my opinion, you need a fresh registration from the Chief Inspector of Factories at Daman. You have to give closure intimation to the present labor authorities at Nasik. There are many obligations under different labor laws in the case of the closure of a factory, which you need to keep in mind.

2. If your factory is registered under the FA Act, you have to grant annual leaves as per Section 79 of the FA. There is no need to follow the Shop & Establishment Act.

3. If you are not employing Contract Labor, there is no obligation to inform the labor department.

4. As an Occupier, you have to maintain many registers concerning your factory as well as in respect of the workers you have employed, for which you can refer to the Rules framed under.

Dear Sir,

My construction company has engaged contractors, and being a PE with an L License of 2000 strength, we have the ability to hire contractual labor. Could you please guide us on the following:

- BOCW registration
- Insurance for workers
- PF

Will the above requirements be managed by our company or the contractor in relation to the laborers?

With regards,
Akshay
