Ravi Foods closed its establishment on 1 March and, on 20 March, informed the registering officer of the closure and certified that all dues to workers were paid. The officer took no action. Which statement is correct under the OSH Code?

The registration certificate is deemed cancelled immediately on expiry of sixty days from the officer's receipt of the closure information and dues certificate, and the cancellation is auto generated. The employer's thirty-day window for informing was met.

  1. AThe registration certificate is deemed cancelled on expiry of sixty days from receipt of the information, with auto generated cancellationCorrect
  2. BThe registration is deemed cancelled after thirty days from receipt
  3. CThe registration continues until the employer applies to the Tribunal
  4. DThe information was invalid because the employer had to inform before closing

Explanation

The employer must inform of closure and certify payment of dues within thirty days of closing; 20 March is within that period. The officer must cancel within sixty days of receiving the information. If not, the certificate is deemed cancelled on expiry of those sixty days and cancellation is auto generated. The thirty-day option confuses the employer's period with the officer's.
