Thanks Sir,

I read this clause, my question is right now which companies are liable for this return?... Do an IT Co. requires to file this return?

[YAGAY andSUN]

It will be better, if you check this aspect from the concerned authority.  Further, you may check the relevant notification in this regard.

If your establishment is covered by Notified establishment then you are liable to furnish the return. Better check whether any notification is  in force in the concerned State covering your established in the terms of the said Act.

Thanks Alok !  But I could not locate any notification in this context..  Please share if you get this...

Dear Ms. Reshma,

 

Better you can contact local exchange office and try to figure you out. Once they say its applicable in your case, then ask for relevant notification. 

AI Summary

Compulsory notification of vacancies may extend to private establishments; verify applicable state notification and local employment exchange. The Act mandates that public sector employers furnish prescribed vacancy information and returns to employment exchanges; for private sector establishments the appropriate government may, by notification, require similar furnishing of returns for specified classes of private establishments, with the form, content and intervals to be prescribed. Applicability for a given private employer depends on whether a state or competent authority has issued a notification covering that establishment, so employers should check the relevant notification or consult the local employment exchange.
