Contract Labour (CLRA) Licence in Tamil Nadu
Registration or licensing under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act for the State in Tamil Nadu. Governed by the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 and Tamil Nadu Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Rules, 1975. Applies where: The principal employer applies for a registration certificate in Form I under Rule 17(1) to the Joint Director of Industrial Safety and Health; the contractor applies for a licence in Form VI under Rule 21(1), with a security deposit at the rate of Rs 100 per worker as prescribed under Section 24(1). Action on both is to be taken within 15 days. The lowest published fee band is 'does not exceed 20 workers', so the schedule itself starts there. Renewal: The licence fee schedule is expressed as 'grant / renewal', so the same graded amounts apply on renewal. The State fee below was read from the authority's own published schedule and is passed through at cost.

These are the authority’s published lines. Which of them apply depends on your filing — a schedule by headcount, capital or entity type is one line, not all of them — and the applicable line is confirmed before payment, at cost.

Government fees are charged at cost, exactly as the authority bills them — we add nothing to them. Where the authority publishes no figure, or publishes a schedule, we confirm the exact amount before you pay, so this total is a minimum: we never substitute a plausible number.
This price is exclusive of GST. GST at 18% is added at checkout on our professional fee. Government fees are collected at cost on your behalf and are not taxed. Clients outside India are zero-rated.
