Dear Seniors,

My question is: could an employer deny giving Form VI B even after the completion of work if Form VI A is already provided by them?

Perceptive is: A company (matters concurrently therefore hiding company name, etc., the matter is in Gujarat State) has obtained both the Registration Certificate and Labor License (engaged only one Office Boy, and all his relevant monthly and closing IR documents were submitted to the Principal Employer) as per the guidelines from the Principal Employer. On the Registration Certificate, many subcontractors were engaged, and according to the Contract Labor Act, each and every subcontract was closed, and their Labor Licenses were canceled, only after an audit by the Principal Employer of all the relevant documents, as per the subcontractors' checklist, which was a combination of CLRA and Factory Act.

Now, the Principal Employer is stating that Form VI B cannot be issued to the company even after the completion of the work, as they have not submitted the compliance report of the subcontractors' staff. However, from the commencement of work to the closure of work, even during the audit process, they never asked for the same. All the subcontractors left the site six to seven months ago with the consent of the Principal Employer.

Furthermore, we have requested them to issue Form VI B to close our Labor License, and if they have any requirements, they may withhold our part of the bill because how can we keep the Labor License active without labor on the site.

I seek your kind suggestions and thank you in advance.
