Labour License (Contractor)

Compliance for Contract Workers and Inter-State Migrant Labor

Who Needs a Labour License?

A **Labour License** is generally required under two major acts: the **Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970** and the **Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979**.

It is mandatory for any **Contractor** who employs **20 or more workmen** for a specific project. This ensures that contract laborers receive minimum wages, proper working conditions, and social security benefits. Both the *Principal Employer* and the *Contractor* must obtain separate registrations/licenses.
