Contract Labour Licence
Registration and licensing under the Contract Labour (R&A) Act.
Overview
Principal employers engaging twenty or more contract workers must register under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, and every contractor supplying such labour must hold a licence. Non-compliance exposes the principal employer to prosecution and to liability for the contractor's wage and welfare defaults. Jurisync prepares Form I registration for principal employers and Form IV licences for contractors, along with the statutory registers.

What you actually pay
Two separate components: Jurisync's professional fee (fixed, shown below) and any government or statutory charge (billed at actuals, receipt shared with you).
| Jurisync professional fee | ₹9,999 onwards |
|---|---|
| Government / statutory charges | Fee plus security deposit per worker (state dependent) |
| Indicative timeline | 15–30 working days |
| Mode of delivery | Fully online across India — documents, approvals and final certificates through your Jurisync case workspace. |
Timelines depend on government portal processing and how quickly documents are provided; statutory approval always rests with the concerned authority.
