Sir/Madam,
Our client is a state govt. owned company and it is covered under ESI. But as our construction job is outside the factory area, we got registered under BOCW.
Kindly advice:
i. How we will be required to pay the labour cess 1%.? Whether it will be deducted from our running bills by our principal employer or else we need to deposit directly to labour office? Our principal employer is not registered under BOCW.
ii. Within how many days from commencement of the job, the CESS to be deposited?
iii. We have 250 workmen at present. Is it mandatory to keep an ambulance at site and to appoint a doctor? We are getting our workmen's health checked up as per BOCW.
Thank you for your valuable time.
Regards
Shiv.
