Sir,
Our unit is located in Gurgaon Haryana. the factory building had made in year 1995. Now we received a letter from labour department with direction to paid 1 % cess of total construction cost of the building under the Building and other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996.
Please advice that this act is applicable on us or not because our building is built in 1995 and the act had came in force in November 1995. Please advice, we are liable to pay the cess or not.

If you are having completion certificate prior to the date of commencement of the Act it is not applicable.
