CLRA Half-Yearly Returns
Half-yearly CLRA return filing, priced per site — for contractors and principal employers with contract labour obligations.
What this service is
Half-yearly return filing under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act for a single site, covering contractors and principal employers with CLRA obligations at that location.
Why it matters
CLRA compliance is tracked per site, and a half-yearly filing gap is one of the more common findings in a principal employer's contractor audit.

Questions people ask
Is this priced per site?
Yes — ₹399 covers one site for the half-year. A business with contract labour at several sites is billed per site.
Do you also handle the labour licence itself?
Yes — see Labour Licence for the licence itself.
What counts as a "site" here?
Each location where contract labour is deployed under its own licence.
What if a site had no contract labour for the period?
A nil return may still be required depending on the licence terms — we confirm this for your case.
