Registration Requirements for Construction Contractors

The question posed by Anamika is not clear. Can you please guide if a construction contractor should register under BOCW? We can infer that the contractor engaged for construction work is registered under BOCW.

Registration Under CLR Act

Next question: we need to get him registered under the CLR Act. It's a greenfield project. Registration under CLA is applicable for the Principal Employer. Consequently, the Principal Employer has to do due diligence and proceed accordingly. Greenfield projects are not exempted from any labor laws. We are all very eager to reply to the question; unfortunately, the person posing the question is not framing it with the proper application of mind.
