Description
The Law requires employers to constitute the IC by an order in writing. This means that the constitution of IC is required to be formally done (in writing) by the employer for it to be considered a legally constituted IC.
“An order in writing” may mean different things for different kinds of organizations and would depend on the type of registration they have under Indian laws and laws they have to follow. For example, employers that are registered as a Company (as per Companies Act, 1956 / 2013) would require a board resolution to be passed.
Before purchasing the Order in Writing you should keep the following in mind:
- Whether Order is required for Single Location / Branch / Unit or Multiple Locations / Branches / Units
- Whether IC has existed from before or IC is going to be constituted after Order is passed
- Type of Organization (i.e. Company, Partnership Firm, LLP, Sole Proprietorship, Trust or Society)
