Establishment Compliance · CLRA

CLRA Compliance — handled end-to-end, both sides.

Principal Employer registration, contractor licensing, statutory registers and returns — we run your full CLRA file across all 33 districts of Gujarat. 20 years of team experience, written-down engagements, clean compliance.

What It Is

Both sides of CLRA, handled by one team.

CLRA compliance has two sides — the Principal Employer's registration, register and annual return, and each contractor's licensing, registers and half-yearly returns. The PE carries wage-liability exposure if the contractor side slips.

We make sure both sides are clean. Whether you're a Sanand manufacturer with three labour contractors, an e-commerce warehouse with rotating sortation crews, or a construction firm running multi-site sub-contractors — we run your CLRA file end-to-end.

Deliverables

What's covered in a CLRA engagement

For the Principal Employer side, the contractor side, or both.

Principal Employer registration

Application drafted, filed and tracked through to certificate issuance — for each establishment.

Contractor licensing support

We help your contractors apply for and obtain their statutory licence — so your CLRA chain is clean end-to-end.

All registers set up & maintained

All statutory CLRA registers — PE-side and contractor-side — digital or physical, kept in the prescribed format.

Half-yearly & annual returns filed

Principal Employer annual return and contractor half-yearly returns — filed on time, every cycle, within statutory timelines.

CLRA compliance audit

An annual audit of your full CLRA position — registrations, licences, registers, returns, wage payments — with a written gap report and remediation plan.

Contractor due diligence

Before you engage a contractor — or once a year for existing ones — we verify licence validity, register maintenance, PF/ESI status and statutory deposits.

How It Works

Four steps to a clean CLRA file

01

Map

Headcount of contract workers per site, contractor list, current registrations and licences — mapped to identify exposure.

02

Register

Principal Employer registration filed for each establishment. Contractors guided through statutory licensing.

03

Maintain

All statutory registers set up and kept current. Wage and muster-roll discipline enforced on the contractor side.

04

File

Half-yearly returns by contractors. Annual return by Principal Employer. Annual audit closes the loop.

Who Needs This

Three CLRA engagements we run today

If you engage contract workers — even indirectly — one of these is likely you.

Manufacturing

Sanand manufacturing client

Engages contract workers through housekeeping, security and canteen contractors. We run Principal Employer registration, verify each contractor's licence, set up registers at the plant, and file the annual return.

Typical setup: 40–120 contract workers across 3–5 contractors at a single Gujarat plant.
Retail & Warehousing

Retail chain with Gujarat warehouse operations

Warehouse loading, sortation and security are run on contract. Multiple sites in Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara. We coordinate Principal Employer registration per site, contractor licensing and consolidated reporting.

Typical setup: e-commerce / FMCG distribution centres engaging multiple labour contractors.
Construction

Construction company with multi-site contractors

Multiple sub-contractors at Ahmedabad and Surat construction sites. We map every contractor against the licence requirement, run weekly muster-roll discipline, and represent at any labour-authority inspection.

Typical setup: mid-size construction firms with 5+ contractor engagements per project.
