Dear Colleagues,
As, we are aware the Labour Welfare Fund, falls under state jurisdiction and shall comes into force from a date to be notified by the State Government.
My query is : A Construction Company have labour license from Central labour department & maintaining all records and registration under central Govt Law provisions.
As, engaged in Central Govt project work (civil, electrical, mechanical, in this case, whether, respective construction firm have to deposit Labour welfare fund to state Govt or not.
Your expert opinion is requisite.
With Regards,

I am not convinced, as Labour Welfare Fund Authority are comes under State Goverment & applicable in few State in India.
It is not possible that State Govt Authority, can visit those projects, running under Central Govt. If there is different Legal opening, please enlighted with relevant law provision.
With Regards.

But, don't forget that you will be working under the jurisdiction of some state at a time in any of the projects and would also be drawing labour force from the concerned state in which you would be working. In addition to Central laws, you are also supposed to abide by State laws. Centre does not have its independent population of labour force.
