annexed.
(b) &(c) Under the Constitution of India, labour is a subject on the Concurrent List and
enforcement of the provisions of various labour laws has been prescribed under provisions
of the relevant Acts and is secured at two levels. In the Central sphere, the enforcement
is secured through the officers of the Central Industrial Relations Machinery (CIRM) and in
the State sphere, it is ensured through the State enforcement machinery. Since all private
limited companies fall under the State sphere, the concerned State Governments are the
appropriate Government for enforcement of various provisions of labour laws.
