What is a Labour License?
A Labour License is a mandatory legal authorization issued by the Labour Department under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. It permits contractors to employ a specified number of contract labourers for a particular project or client site. It ensures that contract workers are hired under lawful conditions, receive fair wages, and work in safe environments.
The license applies to:
- Contractors employing 20 or more workers
- Principal Employers engaging such contractors, who must provide Form V as a prerequisite for the license application
- Under shops & establishment act.
Why is a Labour License Important?
- Legal Compliance: Operating without a valid labour license is a punishable offence under Indian labour laws.
- Worker Welfare: Ensures proper wages, working hours, and safety provisions for contract workers.
- Avoid Penalties: Helps organizations avoid penalties, fines, and legal disputes during inspections or audits.
- Builds Credibility: Demonstrates your commitment to ethical employment practices and regulatory compliance.
