BOCW (Building and Other Construction Workers) Act in Gujarat

The Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act, 1996 is an important law that ensures the safety, welfare, and social security of construction workers. Under this Act, employers and workers must register with the BOCW Welfare Board to avail various benefits such as financial assistance, healthcare, insurance, and pension schemes.

The Act is funded through a 1% cess on construction cost, which is used to support workers in the unorganized construction sector. Accountum India helps businesses and contractors comply with BOCW regulations smoothly and efficiently.
