I think the concern of Sacheein is that if the number of employees falls below 20 (the contract workers now going to be engaged is only 15) should he require to take a licence?
Though I have not come across with such a situation, referring to the CLRA, I think it is not mandatory that he should take a licence, because when the Act itself says that licence is required only when the contractor engages 20 or more persons. And, a licence is once issued for a period of one year and it is not that a contractor once covered by the Act will continue to be covered, like that of PF, ESI or Gratuity Acts wherein the dropping of the minimum number of employees will not make them out of cover from the provisions of the Act. Similarly, a contractor can take licence based on form V issued by the Principal employer only and for the principal Employer also the contract is time specific and unnecessarily he would not issue form V, though giving form V and making his contractor a licenced one is always good.
Therefore, I feel that the contractor need not renew his licence in respect of this particular Principal Employer.

You have to check the State Labour Rules as the minimum number of contracted personnel to take contract Labour license differs from state to state as states are allowed to change the minimum number of contracted personnel to take contract Labour License .
However in Central Govt. undertakings or in undertakings where Central Govt. is in majority the minimum number of contracted personnel happens to be 20 .

But, your principal employer has to be amend their RC under Maharashtra Contract Labour Rules-1971 accordingly. Then no need to renew the license for the year -2014.

Hi Madhu,
I think since the act says "20 or more workers in the preceeding 12 months", and he has more than 20 workers during the preceeding 12 months, he will have to renew the license. When 12 months have passed without having 20 workers, he need not renew the license.

Independent contractors who are not governed by the service rules of the company, like working hours, leave rules, dress codes, etc are not employees and therefore, the CLRA will not apply in such cases. At the same time, if you work exclusively for an establishment and you are expected to be there in the office of the establishment from certain time till certain time, then your role is not as a consultant(or you are just a consultant for name sake or by designation) but your relationship with the employer is that of servant and master and you will come under the purview of employee. Again, in such case also if you are getting salary directly from the employer you will never be under the purview of CLRA Act. at the same time,if you are appointed by some other agency to work with an establishment then you will be a contract worker coming under CLRA Act
