Rohan, a migrant from Bihar, works as a self-employed tailor in Pune, Maharashtra. He wants to be listed on the national database for inter-State migrant workers under the OSH Code, 2020. Which statement is correct?

Rohan may register himself on the portal using self-declaration and Aadhaar. The OSH Code expressly allows migrant workers who are self-employed in the destination State to register, so no employer submission, contractor link or licence is needed.

  1. AHe cannot register because only workers employed through a contractor may register
  2. BHe may register on the portal on the basis of self-declaration and Aadhaar, since self-employed migrants are also allowed to registerCorrect
  3. CHe may register only if his employer submits the details on his behalf
  4. DHe may register only after obtaining a licence from the Chief Inspector

Explanation

Section 21 allows an inter-State migrant worker to register on the portal on the basis of self-declaration and Aadhaar. A proviso extends this to workers who migrated from one State to another and are self-employed there. So Rohan can register himself; the other options add conditions the Code does not impose.
