Sunrise Fabrics, a factory in Surat, employs 8 persons on every day of the preceding twelve months. Under Section 4 of the Labour Laws (Simplification of Procedure for Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by certain Establishments) Act, 1988, what must its employer maintain at the work spot in lieu of the registers required under the Scheduled Acts?

The employer must maintain a register in Form III only. With 8 persons employed, the factory is a very small establishment (not more than nine persons), and Section 4 requires such employers to keep just Form III at the work spot instead of the registers under the Scheduled Acts.

  1. ARegisters in Form II and Form III
  2. BA register in Form III onlyCorrect
  3. CA register in Form II only
  4. DRegisters in Form I and Form II

Explanation

An establishment with not more than nine persons is a very small establishment. For such establishments the proviso to Section 4(1) requires only a register in Form III at the work spot. Form II and Form III together are required for small establishments, so the first option is wrong.
