It has been noticed that there is an utter confusion about registration of an ‘establishment’ under the Contract Labour Act. Most people think that the Principal Employer has to get himself registered. Some other think that the Company (client) has to get itself registered as establishment. I feel that it is the establishment where the contract labour is employed or to be employed is required to be registered as an ‘establishment’ and the responsibility to get it registered is of the ‘Principal Employer’ of a Company who desires to get the work done through a contractor. For example, ABC is a company who wants to hire a contractor to build a ‘Mall’ at a place Y. The person X is the Managing Director (Principal Employer) of the company ABC. In this situation, X has to make an application to the Registering Officer to get the establishment i.e. ‘Mall’ registered under the CLRA. What is the opinion of the members of this forum?

Yes, you are right. The Principal Employer has to obtain a registration certificate & the contractor has to take "License" under the CLRA.

Yes the establishment which employs contract labour needs to be registered and the Principal employer of the said estblishment shall apply for registration as is plain from the language of Sec. 7 of the CLRA Act.
