As the Manmohan Singh government\'s second term without the Left is expected to bring changes to India\'s outdated labour laws, the labour ministry is considering a quick-fix solution to eliminate the country\'s notorious \'inspector raj\' tag.
The plan is for Indian companies to no longer have to deal with labour inspectors visiting their premises to check compliance with 43 central and numerous state labour laws. Instead, companies could submit a certificate from a company secretary that verifies their compliance with the various employment laws.
\"Currently, inspectors visit sites to check compliance with labour laws. We are in discussions with the Institute of Companies Secretaries of India (ICSI) to allow company secretaries to file compliance reports for labour laws, similar to how they submit compliance reports for other laws. Officials could then selectively inspect firms. Thus, the inspector raj will decrease dramatically,\" said Union labour secretary Sudha Pillai. To delegate the responsibility of submitting labour law compliance reports to Companies Secretaries, the ministry is working on the necessary amendments to the relevant laws. \"We have discussed the idea with the Cabinet Secretariat, and the government is keen on it. A Cabinet note to this effect will be submitted soon, and we hope to get it approved shortly,\" she said.
