Kaveri Plantations, a plantation employer, has qualified for the Section 4 simplification as a small establishment. Which obligation does it still have to continue to perform despite the exemption?
Even after the simplification, the employer must continue to issue wage slips and file accident returns under the Factories Act and the Plantations Labour Act, as the second proviso to Section 4(1) provides.
- AFile returns relating to accidents under the Plantations Labour Act, 1951 provisions specified in Section 4Correct
- BMaintain every register that the Scheduled Act originally required
- CFurnish monthly returns to the Inspector in Form I
- DNothing, since all obligations under Scheduled Acts stand discharged
Explanation
The second proviso to Section 4(1) says the employer continues to issue wage slips in the prescribed form and to file accident returns under the Factories Act (sections 88 and 88A) and the Plantations Labour Act (sections 32A and 32B). The other options misstate the exemption: it replaces registers with Forms II and III, and the return is annual, not monthly.
