The Cost of Construction Compliance Chaos: Cess, Safety & RCM
BOCW & Welfare Cess Liability Minefield
The BOCW Act requires a 1% Labour Welfare Cess on construction costs, with strict timelines and record-keeping.
The CLRA & Contract Labour Project Risk
Heavy reliance on contract labor makes you liable under the CLRA Act for any contractor non-compliance in EPF, ESIC, or wages. Lapses can lead to backdated liabilities, project delays, and potential contract cancellations.
GST RCM & The Cash Flow Trap
In construction, RCM often makes builders liable for GST on purchases like TDR, FSI, or materials, requiring careful monitoring.
