CLRA Contractor License (Contract Labour)

How It Works

1. 1

   Threshold verification and jurisdiction determination

   We verify the applicable worker threshold in the relevant state, confirm whether the Central or State Government is the appropriate authority, and identify the correct Registering and Licensing Officers and portals.

2. 2

   Principal employer registration under Section 7 (Form I)

   We prepare and file Form I with full details of the establishment, nature of work, contractors proposed to be engaged, and maximum contract workmen, along with the prescribed registration fee.

3. 3

   Registration certificate receipt and verification

   We collect the Registration Certificate under Section 7 and verify that all particulars are correctly recorded, which forms the basis for the contractor's subsequent license application.

4. 4

   Contractor license application under Section 12 (Form IV)

   We prepare and file Form IV for each contractor specifying the licensed establishment, maximum workmen to be deployed, nature of work, and period of the license, along with the surety deposit and license fee.

5. 5

   License grant and record-keeping setup

   Upon grant of the contractor's license we collect the license certificate and brief the contractor on the mandatory registers (Form XIII, XVI, XVII, XIX) and the obligation to display the Act abstract at the workplace.

6. 6

   Renewal and amendment advisory

   We set up a renewal calendar for contractor licenses and advise on the procedure to amend both the registration certificate and the license when the scope of work or number of workmen changes.
