Meera Tea Estates, a plantation with 25 workers, is covered by Section 4 of the Act. Which obligation does the employer continue to have despite the exemption?

The employer must still file accident returns under the Plantations Labour Act, 1951. Section 4 replaces ordinary returns and registers with Forms I, II and III, but its second proviso preserves wage slips and accident returns, so those duties continue.

  1. AFile returns relating to accidents under the Plantations Labour Act, 1951Correct
  2. BMaintain all registers required under the Plantations Labour Act, 1951
  3. CFurnish all periodic returns under that Act in the original forms
  4. DNothing; all obligations under the Scheduled Acts stand replaced

Explanation

The second proviso to Section 4(1) says employers must continue to issue wage slips and file accident returns under the Factories Act sections 88 and 88A and Plantations Labour Act sections 32A and 32B. Registers and other returns are replaced by Forms I to III, so the other options are wrong.
