The government on Thursday approved changes in a labour law exempting establishments employing up to 40 workers from maintaining mandatory registers and submitting returns.

The government proposes to introduce a simplified form, which will give relief to employers of such establishments who currently are required to maintain registers and submit returns under various labour laws, Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said after a Cabinet meeting in New Delhi.

In order to achieve the objective of relaxing the labour laws, the Cabinet approved changes in Labour Laws (Exemption from Furnishing Returns and maintaining Registers by Central Establishments) Amendments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill,  2005, which has been pending in the Rajya Sabha.

The bill would now be renamed as Labour Laws (Exemption from Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by Certain Establishments) Amendment Bill, 2007, the minister said.
