Engaging or supplying contract labour above the prescribed threshold requires a Labour License under the Contract Labour Act. We handle both Principal Employer registration and Contractor licensing.
A Labour License is required under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 for establishments that engage 20 or more contract workers (Principal Employer registration) and for contractors who supply that labour (Contractor licence), covering wage payment, welfare amenities and working conditions of contract workers.
A clear, step-by-step process from onboarding to ongoing delivery.
We check whether your establishment (as principal employer) or your firm (as contractor) crosses the contract-labour threshold requiring licensing.
Business registration, contractor agreements, worker details and welfare amenity plans are compiled.
Form filed with the labour department for Principal Employer registration and/or Contractor licence.
The labour department may verify premises and worker welfare facilities before approval.
The licence is issued and we track renewal dates so it never lapses.
Establishments (as principal employer) engaging 20 or more contract workers on any day of the preceding 12 months, and contractors supplying 20 or more workers, need to be registered/licensed under the Contract Labour Act (thresholds may vary slightly by state amendment).
Typically takes 3-6 weeks depending on state process and whether a premises inspection is required.
Fee depends on whether registration is for Principal Employer, Contractor, or both, and number of workers. Contact us for a quote.
