Contractual Labourers

Organisations in public and private sector engage both regular and contract workers but they have to provide such benefits as are mandated under various legislations.

No data of regular labour & Contract labour is maintained centrally. However, the number of regular civil employees in various Ministries as on 31st March, 2006 was estimated to be 3116337 as per the Census of Central Government Employees conducted by Directorate General of Employment and Training.

In the Central sphere, the Central Industrial Relations Machinery (CIRM) has been entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of the Act and rules made thereunder, through Inspectors, Licensing Officers, Registering Officers and Appellate Authorities appointed under the Act.
