STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

In the circumstance that the registration of employers is too deficient and the

contribution received to the Fund is so meager, in order to achieve the objective

of the collection of more contribution by expediting the registration of employers

and to enhance the contribution of members in accordance with the substantial

increase in the benefits to the members and to attain the self-sufficiency to the

Board, the Government have decided to make necessary amendments in the Kerala

Tailoring Workers Welfare Fund Act, 1994.

The Bill seeks to achieve the said object.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

The Bill if enacted and brought into operation, would not involve any

expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of the State.
