We are a 1000-flat housing society registered with the concerned authorities. We have security contractors engaged with us, with more than 30 guards and housekeeping members through a private contractor, totaling around 35 people.

Do we have to provide Form-5, and are the labor rules strict in accordance with commercial establishments?

Dear Mr. Menon,

If you engage security guards at your residence through a Security Services Agency, would you say that the arrangement falls within the purview of the CLRA Act, 1970?

Similar is the case of a Housing Society or House Owners Association engaging watch and ward and other housekeeping staff through any contractor for the simple reason the housing society cannot be an "Establishment" as defined under the CLRA Act.
