CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · The Labour Laws (Simplification of Procedure for Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by Certain Establishments) Act

A small establishment in Pune, covered by a Scheduled Act, furnishes Form I and maintains Forms II and III as the 1988 Act provides. Which obligation does the employer still have to continue to meet?

The employer must still file accident returns under sections 88 and 88A of the Factories Act, 1948, and sections 32A and 32B of the Plantations Labour Act, 1951, and continue issuing prescribed wage slips. These duties are expressly saved despite the simplified Form I, II and III system.
