Dear Mr. Umakanthan
The BOCW act is applicable whoever engaging the workforce involved at construction or building activities. In BOCW there is no such PE. It says only Employer. Hence the PE, Contractor, Sub-Contractors are to obtain the Registration Certificate by applying in Form I. Then the Contractors will have to maintain all the relevant statutory documents (Wages, Muster Rolls, OT Register,) and Technical related documents (Periodical inspection of lifting gears, wire rope, hoist, and other equipments being used for construction purpose), welfare related documents (Canteen Price list, Medical check up of all workers (Pre employment and periodical medical check up), Hygiene & Sanitation Records) and whenever the BOCW Inspector is visiting the site, the above documents must be produced on demand.

Dear Arivu
Now whatever you pay the BOCWW Cess the authorities will accept and on completion of the project, the authorities will inspect your project and evaluate the cost of the construction and accordingly they may or may not ask you to pay more BOCWW Cess.
