Factory inspectors collect money only from factory owners, whereas government labor officers collect money not only from factory owners but also from every owner of a shop, establishment, hospital, educational institute, trading house, and construction site.

Dear Anonymous,
It is incorrect on your part to cast aspersions on the government officials holding statutory positions. Don't you think that the employers are equally responsible for such situations? If they sincerely start complying with the provisions of the various Labour Laws, then there is hardly any scope for such misdemeanors. There are numbers of private professional companies such as Tata, L&T, Godrej, etc., who have their full-fledged compliance section or cell, whose officials are responsible for the implementation of the provisions of various labor laws applicable to their establishments. Any lapse in compliance is viewed very seriously by the management.

Dear BS Kalsi ji,
Greetings!!!
I respect your feelings on casting aspersions on Government Officers holding statutory positions. I also agree with you that the employers are also equally responsible.
Corruption is a social evil. Not only are politicians and bureaucrats corrupt in India, but even judges, doctors, professors are not out of the race. Then how can the Labour Department / Factory Department be isolated from it?
The present Government at the Centre as well as in most of the States is talking about ease of doing business, etc. but unfortunately, all the things are on paper or in saying only. Most of the States have recently come out with online applications for various licenses, but if you see, invariably the applications submitted online are outrightly rejected by the authorities for no reason. If the license is not granted, then the businessman or employer has to face a lot of problems and hence has no option but to get the license approved by satisfying the greed of the authority. This is the practice adopted and to my knowledge in today's era, no company is an exception to it. No businessman or employer has time to approach the ACB. Also, those officers have a nuisance value to the businessman or employer.
Our Anonymous Friend has rightly described the terms in question in this thread, in my view. Our Honorable Prime Minister is also well aware of the practices by Licensing authorities and Enforcement authorities.
