Dear Rajesh Kantubhukta,
Thanks for posting a nice and detailed guide lines for the Principle Employers engaging contract labours. Main problem comes when the officials of establishment shows inclinations towards some of the selected contract labours, who are attached to them or are considered hardworking and obedient workers. Even I have come across many cases where the contractor changes but the same set of workers continue to work for years together. When on a fine day the management decide to disband the contract labour system, a big labour problem start waiting for the PE. There is nobody to come to their rescue and help them. Ultimately the PE has to face the whole drama.

Dear Nagarethinam,
In reference to your query, it is informed that the principal employer is required to obtain registration under section 7 of the Contract Labour (R&A) Act in Form No.1 (in triplicate) from the Registering Officer of the area in which the establishment is located. The said Form shall be accompanied by demand draft showing the payment of prescribed fees for payment of registration, which depends upon the number of contract labour intended to be engaged.
Once an employer has obtained the certificate of registration, all the contractors who are having 20 or more persons working for them, it shall be obligatory on their part to apply in Form IV in order to obtain licence from the Licencing Officer of the area. Accordingly the principal employer will issue Form-V (Form of certificate by the principal employer) to the contractor(s) for obtaining licence.
The principal employer shall also ensure that the contractor under him renew his licence every year.

Dear Anonymous,
With reference to your query, it is imperative on the part of the principal employer is to obtain registration under Contract Labour (R&A) Act from the Registering Officer of the area in which the establishment is located. Since 'A' is giving contract to B person to produce coal, who is engaging his own 200 worker and in turn B has given 10 petty contract engaging contract labour below 20. Now in this particular case B is required to take licence from the Licencing Officer of the Area for engaging contract labour 200. If any petty contractor engages worker above 20 on any day then he shall also be required to obtained licence from Licencing Officer. For better clarity please have a perusal of definition of contractor under the Act, which is given below:-
"contractor", in relation to an establishment, defined as a person who undertakes to produce a given result for the establishment, other than a mere supply of goods or articles of manufacture to such establishment, through contract labor or who supplies contract labor for any work of the establishment and includes a sub-contractor;
The last sentence of the above definition is very important, which includes 'sub contractor' under its ambit.

Hi sir,
My query is:
If a contractor (who has employed his 60 labour workers in Establishment A and he has obtained labour license for that contract.) is appointed by Establishment B where 15 labour workers are required, does the contractor need to apply for another Labour License for Contract of 15 workers in Establishment B?
Please answer.

Dear Mr Adityapatil,
In Establishment B, the contractor is not required any Labour Lcense,
Principally, the Act is applicable:-
“Every establishment in which 20 or more workmen are employed or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months as contract labour. Every contractor who employs or who employed on any day of the preceding twelve months 20 or more workmen”.
However, in case of Maharashtra the word “20 or more workmen” has been substituted by “50 or more workmen” (notification dtd. 05th Jan 2017).
But if the Establishment B is engaged many contractors (in the same place for different kind of work) and the total strength is 50 or more than he has to get the RC from the Labour Office and has to mention different contractor’s name in the specified format.
Learned member can put more inputs on the matter.

Dear Adityapatil,
In reference to your query supposing that if the same contractor is engaged for Establishment B where 15 labour workers are required, he doesn't need to apply for another Labour License as the Contract labour are less than 20. But if on any day, the number touches 20 or more, he will be under obligation to obtain licence from the Licencing Officer of the area.
Hope the position is clear to you.
