Apex industry body FICCI on Monday hailed the Labour Ministry’s new initiative for devising a web-portal where enterprises can file their compliance returns for 16 of the 44 central labour laws in the country. The Labour Secretary Gauri Kumar at a meeting held with the Employers Representatives, under the Chairmanship of Union Labour Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, said that the process has been initially started on pilot basis and the portal will be applicable only to establishments operating under the Central sphere and by October this year it will be operational at the national sphere. The minister further informed that in due course of time the Labour Ministry will come up with a single return format for the 16 labour laws after due amendments in the rules. According to FICCI, this initiative will not only bring some relief to the overall compliance burden of some of the Central labour laws but will also bring transparency. This was one of the long pending demands of industry. During the meeting, FICCI has also requested to extend similar system to encompass other related laws as well.
