If the number of contract worker enagaged through one contractor is below 20 number still the act and rules under the contract labour and abolishtion act will be applicable to an industry ? In case, where more than one contractor was engaged for different type of service but the number of worker engaged is 15 under each contractor then the act and rule of contract labour is applicable to the establishment and required to apply for registration ? please advise.

In case the total number of contract labour engaged through various contractors exceeds 20, they the company is supposed to go for registration.
