The Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996, often known as the “BOCW Act,” was introduced by the Government of India to address the difficulties of unskilled laborers who work in intensive deplorable conditions. The goal of this Act is to maintain a close check on laborers’ working conditions. It functions as a social welfare plan, with the goal of providing benefits to workers involved in building and construction operations throughout the country.
