Hi,

Can some one mail me CHILD LABOR ABOLITION ACT as soon as possible.

Also pls confirm whether age limit of chid has been raised from 14 to 18. Pls mention notification no and date for the same.

What are the industies in which child labor is prohibited ?

I have gone throught THE CHILD LABOUR (ABOLITION AND REHABILITATION) ACT 1986 and also THE CHILD LABOUR (ABOLITION AND REHABILITATION) BILL, 2006

In the bill of 2006 CHILD LABOR IS ALL FORMS IS ABOLISHED whereas THE CHILD LABOUR (ABOLITION AND REHABILITATION) ACT 1986 states certain occupations and industries where it is prohibited.

Pls confirm whether bill of 2006 is passed and HILD LABOR IS ALL FORMS IS ABOLISHED or not ?

Pls reply asap since matter is very urgent.

With Kind Regards, Neha Jain

Dear Rajesh, Thnx so much for your prompt reply. I have gone through this bill. But my query is since this is just a BILL, whether it has been passed and become ACT OR NOT ? Whether this bill has replaced earlier THE CHILD LABOUR (ABOLITION AND REHABILITATION) ACT 1986? So now child labor is prohibited for all sorts of industries and process as per this bill of 2006. I await your reply. Many thanks to you in anticipation!
