I have some doubts regarding CLRA. What is the applicability of CLRA?
Suppose if a contractor have more than 20 employees but they are working on different location across pan India. On any location of pan India there is not more than 5 or 10 employees. Then please tell me it is mandatory to take labor license? If yes then what is the full procedure and if No then why?

Dear Mr Adeshkumar
Basically the CLPA Act is applicable only when any employer engages twenty or more contract workmen of various contractors in his establishment and similarly the contractor shall take licence only when he engages twenty or more workmen in any particular esttabishment.

This is a doubt I have always had.
Perhaps the intent and wording of the legislation have a mismatch.
The applicability provision says that the act will apply to all contractors wHo have 20 or more workers.
And to all enterprises where 20 or more contractors are working.
(Of course, in some states the limit is 10)
the licensing section also talks of license required where the contractor has 20 or more workers (in total, not at each location)
However, administrative section of our labour departments are giving license only when there are 20 or more contract workers of a single contractor at that particular location.

Dear Mr Banerjee
As per the provisions of the CLRA Act, Registration certificate and Licences are issued for each factory separately considering the Factory licence and the contract workers engaged. A Company having two or more factories in different locations of the same town / city will have separate licences and will come under the jurisdiction of different Factory / Labour inspectors. However, a contractor if he engages 20 or more workmen in different factories of area which comes under the same inspector, will have to take licence enclosing the different Regn certificates showing that he engages 20 or more workmen within the jurisdiction of the same inspector. We have taken contractor's licence for a Company in TN, which is having HO and a petrol Bunk in different locations but within the jurisdiction of the same labour inspector.

Well, you may have been able to get that done, but in most cases the licensing authorities send it back saying it's not necessary because you have less than 20 here. And they don't bother even during inspection to say anything about those they know is more than 20 in multiple location (eg BIS security has over 25000 security guards, but the inspector / GLC will say nothing in places where they have 6-8 guards.
Also then in your case, what if the HO and pump were at different places under different inspectors. The law would still apply. But you would not get a license?
