Dear sir,
Definition of child labour varies under various labour enactments.
There are number of Acts which prohibit the employment of children below 14 years and 15 years in certain specified employment. However, there is no procedure laid down in any law for deciding in which employments, occupations or processes the employment of children should be banned. There is also no law to regulate the working conditions of children in most of the employments where they are not prohibited from working and are working under exploitative conditions.

A child is a person of age less than 14 under prescribed law. If a child is working then it is said to to be Child Labour.
