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

An adolescent was rescued from a scheduled hazardous process in Jaipur. The employer's fine was credited to the district Fund and the Government added its contribution. Which statement about the money and the adolescent is correct under the Act?

The amount credited, with accrued interest, is paid to the adolescent in the prescribed manner, and the rescued adolescent is rehabilitated under the laws in force. The Fund is district-based, not national, and the money does not go to the employer or lapse.

  1. AThe money lapses to the Consolidated Fund after one year
  2. BThe amount and accrued interest are paid to the adolescent in the prescribed manner, and rehabilitation follows the laws in forceCorrect
  3. CThe money is paid to the adolescent's employer as compensation for lost labour
  4. DThe Fund is constituted only at the national level, and the adolescent receives nothing directly

Explanation

Section 14B(4) provides that the deposited or invested amount and interest are paid to the child or adolescent in the prescribed manner, and Section 14C says a rescued adolescent is rehabilitated under laws in force. Section 14B(1) allows a Fund for each district or for two or more districts, so option D is wrong.
