MINISTER OF LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI SIS RAM OLA)
(a): Yes, Sir.
(b): The concerned Indian recruiting agents are instructed to settle the matter with the help of concerned foreign employers. If the recruiting agents fail to comply, action is taken to suspend/cancel their registration. Assistance of our Missions/Posts abroad is also taken for taking-up the complaints with the foreign employer and the concerned foreign Government for resolution of the problem. Foreign employers who violate the terms of employment are blacklisted, i.e., barred from recruiting Indian manpower.
