At CompliaSync, we provide expert guidance and support for obtaining your BOCW Act License. The Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act, 1996, requires establishments engaged in construction work to be registered and obtain a license under the Act. This license ensures that employers meet all legal requirements to ensure the welfare and safety of their construction workers.
What is a BOCW Act License?
A BOCW Act License is a legal authorization granted by the relevant state government authorities to contractors, builders, or construction establishments that employ a specified number of workers in construction activities. This license ensures that businesses comply with the welfare schemes laid out for construction workers under the Act, such as health insurance, housing, and education benefits.
Why Do You Need a BOCW Act License?
The BOCW Act License serves as proof that an employer is adhering to the regulations designed to safeguard construction workers’ rights. It is mandatory for any establishment involved in construction work with 10 or more workers to obtain the license. The license helps ensure workers are provided with the welfare benefits they deserve, and the employer complies with state-specific labor laws.
