CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · The Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act

A district court fines a Pune workshop owner for employing a child in contravention of the Act, and the fine is credited to the district Rehabilitation Fund. How much must the appropriate Government additionally credit to the Fund for that child?

The appropriate Government must credit fifteen thousand rupees to the Fund for each child or adolescent for whom the employer's fine has been credited. This is separate from the fine itself; twenty thousand and fifty thousand are the fine limits, not this government contribution.

Explanation

Section 14B(2) says the appropriate Government shall credit fifteen thousand rupees for each child or adolescent for whom the fine amount has been credited. Twenty thousand is the minimum fine, and fifty thousand is the maximum fine, so they are not this amount.
