The Hindu Business Line : Cabinet clears Bill to amend labour laws

THE Union Cabinet today gave its nod for introduction of a Bill in Parliament for simplifying the forms of returns and registers prescribed under certain labour laws.

The Bill would amend the Labour laws (exemption from furnishing returns and maintaining of registers by certain establishments) Act, 1988 for this purpose.

The Information and Broadcasting Minister, Mr Jaipal Reddy, told reporters here that the simplified forms to be introduced by this amendment bill would give much needed relief to employers of several establishments in maintaining registers and submitting returns under the various labour laws.

After the passage of the proposed amendments, the employers will send one annual return in form I instead of numerous reports.

Similarly, in place of numerous registers, the employers would maintain two registers in Form II and Form III at workplace.
