labour contractor license fees
Labour Contractor License Fees in India (As per the Contract Labour Act, 1970)
The license fees for a labour contractor are prescribed under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Central Rules, 1971, and are typically based on the number of contract labourers you plan to employ.
Note: These are central government rates. Individual states may have slightly different or additional charges. Always verify with your state’s Labour Department.
π Fee Structure (Government Prescribed Rates)
Number of Contract Labourers | License Fee (₹) |
---|---|
Upto 49 workers | ₹1,000 |
50 to 99 workers | ₹2,000 |
100 to 199 workers | ₹3,000 |
200 to 299 workers | ₹4,000 |
300 to 399 workers | ₹5,000 |
400 to 499 workers | ₹6,000 |
500 or more workers | ₹7,500 |
π¦ Security Deposit (Refundable)
In addition to the license fee, a security deposit must be paid:
-
₹90 per worker
-
Paid via a treasury challan or online payment (varies by state)
This deposit is refundable after the contract ends, subject to compliance with labour laws.
π Validity of License
-
The labour license is typically valid for one year or the duration of the contract, whichever is shorter.
-
It must be renewed annually, with similar fees and documentation.
π§Ύ Additional Charges (if applicable)
Some states or portals may charge:
-
Application processing fee (₹100–₹500)
-
Online service fee (₹50–₹200)
-
Late fee if you apply after the contract has started
π State-Specific Notes
-
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu follow the central structure, but portal service charges and formats may differ.
-
Always use the official state labour department portal for your application and fee payment.
✅ Final Tip
Always keep the payment receipt or challan safe—it's required during inspection or license renewal. Also, ensure that the number of workers employed matches what you declare; underreporting can lead to legal penalties.
