Implementation of Contract Labour Welfare Board

There is no provision for Contract Labour Welfare Board under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. No cess is collected under the said Act.

As per available information, States of Karnataka, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh have constituted State Social Security Boards and framed Rules under the Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Act, 2008. State of Gujarat, Orissa, Kerala and Tripura have framed rules only. State of Tamil Nadu has, however, informed that there is no requirement of constitution of State Social Security Board in the State as it is already implementing various welfare schemes for unorganised workers. The registration of unorganised workers is to be done by the District Administration under Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Act, 2008. The details about the enrolment of unorganised workers under State Social Security Board is not maintained at central level.
