1) LIN is provided by the Shram Suvidha Portal.
2) The LIN would gradually subsume the multiple registration numbers presently being issued separately by Labour Enforcement Agencies.- Published on 25 Nov 16a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
ANSWER: Both 1 and 2
LIN (Labour Identification Number) is provided by Shram Suvidha Portal.
Shram Suvidha Portal facilitates businessmen to get all kinds of registrations and submit returns that are required under labour laws at a single online window.
It also makes available to them the inspection reports prepared by the enforcement agency inspectors online. The procedures have been simplified; returns and registration forms have been unified to provide a business environment that encourages compliance by reducing transaction costs and promoting ease of business.
A unit registered with different labour enforcement agencies is identified uniquely and allotted a single unique LIN.
The LIN would gradually subsume the multiple registration numbers presently being issued separately by Labour Enforcement Agencies i.e. ESIC registration Number, EPFO number, Registration or license number issued under Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970, etc.
