Simplifying Compliance for Employers in the Construction Sector
The Maharashtra Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Welfare Board (MAHA BOCW) was established under the BOCW Act, 1996, to regulate employment conditions and provide welfare schemes for construction workers. Employers in Maharashtra must register their establishments and workers to comply with the law and access benefits like health insurance, pensions, and educational support.
Key Objective: The primary goal of BOCW registration is to ensure social security and welfare for construction workers while maintaining regulatory compliance for employers.
Avoid penalties and legal issues by registering your establishment and workers as mandated by the BOCW Act.
Ensure your workforce has access to social security benefits including health insurance, pensions, and education support.
Demonstrate your commitment to employee welfare and ethical business practices, improving your standing in the industry.
The 1% cess paid on construction costs is properly utilized to fund worker welfare schemes that benefit your employees.
Who Needs to Register? Employers/contractors with 10 or more workers in construction projects.
