DEAR JAGDISH,

Construction Industry comes under the following Act., a copy of the Act is also attached.

The Building & Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment & Conditions of Service) Act, 1996

It was enacted to regulate the employment and conditions of service of building and other construction workers and to provide for their safety, health and welfare measures.
