Liability of registration and cess payment under the Building & Other Construction Workers' Act lies on principal employer or the labour contractor?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies liability for Building & Other Construction Workers' Act (BOCWA) registration and cess payment. It explains that responsibility can fall on either the principal employer or the labour contractor, depending on the nature of the project. If it's a construction contract with a customer, the contractor might handle it, whereas for self-generating assets or own use projects, the principal employer may be responsible for payment, potentially even in advance.

This project work, is it contract with customer, ie real estate or self generating asset? If it is cunstructiin contract’s, you just reimburse the amount to come contractor. If the building is for own use, you or the contractor can pay up for cess expenses. In the end you are mentioned only paying for everything, cess can be paid in advance as well to reduce book keeping.

Sorry for typos, you are only funding the project and paying for it. Where to account for it depends upon construction contracts or WIP/ self generating asset accounting.
