Goa Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board

अपनी स्थिति से शुरू करें

• अठारह से साठ वर्ष से कम आयु के भवन श्रमिकों को पहले पंजीकरण जाँचना चाहिए, क्योंकि कई लाभ सदस्यता पर निर्भर हैं।
• औज़ारों के लिए अनुदान को तीन वर्ष की सदस्यता और नियमित अंशदान चाहिए।
• घर के लिए, आवास अग्रिम को पाँच वर्ष की निरंतर सदस्यता और सेवानिवृत्ति से पहले पंद्रह वर्ष की सेवा चाहिए।
• किसी दुर्घटना या बीमारी के बाद इलाज के लिए, चिकित्सा सहायता योजना जाँचें। यह पाँच या अधिक दिन अस्पताल में रहने पर लागू होती है।
• परिवार में मृत्यु के बाद, मृत्यु, अंत्येष्टि और पारिवारिक पेंशन योजनाएँ अलग-अलग लोगों को जाती हैं। पात्रता देखने के लिए हर योजना पढ़ें।

दावा करने से पहले

• हर लाभ का अपना scheme document है। जिस लाभ को आप चाहते हैं, उसका दस्तावेज़ पढ़ें।
• download-forms पेज कहता है कि फ़ॉर्म जल्द आएँगे, पर scheme documents अब भी Form XXXIV जैसे फ़ॉर्म छापते हैं। फ़ॉर्म नंबर के लिए दस्तावेज़ जाँचें।
• बोर्ड का scheme document औज़ार योजना को अनुदान कहता है, जबकि एक third-party सूची उसे ऋण बताती है। किसी भी विवरण पर भरोसा करने से पहले scheme document पढ़ें।
• दावा करने से पहले बोर्ड से वर्तमान शर्तों की पुष्टि करें। उसके contact पेज पर कार्यालय से संपर्क का तरीका लिखा है।

निर्णय कैसे लिए जाते हैं

• बोर्ड लाभ स्वीकृत करता है, इसलिए हर योजना के तहत स्वीकृति बोर्ड के पास है।
• आपदा राहत स्वीकृत योजनाओं के भुगतान से पहले, Minister for Labour की अध्यक्षता वाली समिति के माध्यम से दी जा सकती है।

The Goa Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Board runs welfare benefits for building workers in Goa. It was constituted on 10 April 2008 under the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996, and it implements that Act in the state. The Board sits within the Labour and Employment Department of the Government of Goa, with its office in Panaji.

How programmes work

The Board's benefits are set out in a separate scheme document for each one, published on its website. Most are paid to members of the Fund, to their families or nominees, or to beneficiaries with a health or disability condition. The scheme documents are the main source for the rules, including the conditions for each benefit.

The Board sanctions most benefits at its discretion, and it decides some amounts itself. The education assistance, for example, covers the courses the Board specifies from time to time, at an assistance level the Board determines.

The Board's download-forms page says forms are coming soon. The scheme documents themselves print application forms, such as Form XXXIV for maternity benefit, so check the scheme document for the form you need.

Who can apply

Building workers aged eighteen or over and under sixty can register with the Board. Many of its benefits ask for membership of the Fund, and some set a longer period of membership.

The grant for tools needs three years' membership and regular contributions. The marriage assistance needs three years' continuous membership. The housing advance needs five years' continuous membership and fifteen years' service before superannuation. The pension benefit goes to a member who reaches sixty after working as a building worker for at least one year since the rules came into force.

Family pension goes to the surviving spouse of a pensioner. The funeral and death benefits go to the nominees or dependents of a deceased member. Education assistance goes to the children of members. Interim relief goes to beneficiaries in an area hit by a disaster.

Employers have duties under the same Act. It applies to any establishment that employs, or has employed, ten or more building workers on any day in the preceding twelve months. Every employer of such an establishment must apply to register it, online through the Goa government's website.

What the benefits cover

The schemes fall into a few groups. Some support building workers who are members: the pension, the housing advance, the tools grant, medical assistance and maternity benefit. Some support families after a death: the death, funeral and family pension schemes. Some support children and marriages: education and marriage assistance. The disability pension supports beneficiaries who are permanently disabled, and interim relief covers people affected by disaster.

Who runs it

The Labour Commissioner, Goa, is the Member Secretary and the Chief Executive Officer of the Board. The Board implements the Act in Goa and sanctions the benefits under its schemes.

Disaster relief has its own route. A committee chaired by the Minister for Labour, with the Secretary (Labour) and the Labour Commissioner as members, may extend immediate relief to affected beneficiaries until the approved schemes pay out.

Locations

The Board works from the office of the Commissioner, Labour and Employment, on the second floor of Patto Plaza in Panaji, Goa. Its website has a contact page, a citizen client charter and a list of its schemes.
