About — Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act 1979
The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, is a law that safeguards workers moving across state borders by obliging employers to register and provide welfare. It standardises rights and curbs exploitation of migrant labour. For example, a Gujarat factory hiring workers from Bihar must obtain a registration certificate and furnish housing and medical care.
