Dear All,
I am a Site Administrator in a French company working with an Indian company on an Aluminium project. We have two subcontractors - one for civil jobs and the other for security services. Currently, we have 18 security guards on site from the security contractor and 10 laborers from the civil contractor.
My query is, should we include security guards in the count of 20 persons when applying for the labor license at the site, or should we only count the laborers?

Dear friends,
My friends are missing licenses with registration. If the number of contract workers is more than 20 (including all), then the employer is required to have registration of the contract with the labor department. If an individual contractor has more than 20 workers, then he needs to have a license. In this case, registration by the employer is required, and a license for the contractor is not required.

Yes, Malik! You are right. Our enlightened members from the HR fraternity must understand the difference between a license and registration. A factory does not need a license; it is the contractor who needs to have it if he employs 10/20 or more contract laborers (the number varies from state to state – for example, in the State of Gujarat, the number for taking a license is 10). If the Contract Labor (R&A) Act applies to a factory, it needs to have a registration and not a license.

Dear Member,
In general, if you are employing 20 or more workers on each project site, then you are required to have a contract labor license from the Licensing Officer of the area under the Contract Labor (R&A) Act, 1970. If in your case the appropriate Government is the state Government, then the eligibility criteria may differ from state to state.

Dear Nazneen,
Under CL (R&A) Act, 1970 and Central Rules, 1971, it does not matter how many permanent employees are in your company. The Act is related to personnel deployed at project sites (either permanent or through various sub-contractors).
As stated by Mr. R.N. Khola, if you deploy 20 or more personnel at a single site, then you have to obtain a labor license and ensure compliance with other related requirements. However, in Maharashtra, the act is applicable for "50" employees.
Our company operates on a tender-based model, working across India, where we deploy a significant workforce through various sub-contractors. We have obtained Labor Licenses for all our units and are ensuring compliance with the Act to the best of our ability.
I hope you will find this clarification meeting the requirements.
Thank you.
