Dear Colleagues,
I would like to know the formalities in recruiting interstate migrant workers not through a contractor but through direct recruitment by the Principal Employer. In fact, we have recruited a few interstate migrant workers in an Andhra Pradesh Establishment, and we would like to know whether we need to register and obtain permission under the provisions of the Act. If so, where should we register our company to obtain such permission to recruit these workers?
Your enlightenment on this subject is highly appreciated.
Thanks and high regards,

Hi friends,
We are planning to engage other state employees in our company on a temporary basis. Should we have to follow any formalities for engaging other state employees directly rather than through a contract? Please let me know.

I work in an establishment in Hyderabad where there are a total of 800 contract workmen working under 30 contractors. Can somebody please suggest how I can find out if there are any inter-state migrant workmen working here? Checking what kind of records may provide accurate information?
Has anyone had an inspection under this act? In that case, which records were checked by the Inspector to determine if there are any inter-state migrant workmen in the factory?

Dear all,
As per my understanding of Sec 2(b) of the Act, "whoever recruits or employs workmen" falls under the purview of the same. Hence, whether the principal employer or contractor, registration is a must. However, Sec 2(e) brings about ambiguity in the Act, as an Inter-State Migrant Workman should invariably be recruited by a contractor only for the Act to be applicable.
Previous participants in the discussion have completely ruled out the need for employers to get registered based on Sec 2(e).
Kindly indicate whether any Honourable Supreme Court/High Court judgment has been passed to such effect.
