Among these, the <strong>Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979<\/strong> plays a crucial role in safeguarding workers who move from one state to another for employment. With rapid industrialization and increased mobility of labour across states, migrant workers became highly vulnerable to exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and delayed wages. This Act provides a legal framework to regulate their employment, wages, and welfare, ensuring that migrant workers are treated fairly and their rights are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inter-state-migrant-workmen-act-1979\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inter-State_Migrant_Workmen_Act_1979\"><\/span>Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act 1979<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act 1979, the inter-state migrant workers often faced poor living conditions, lack of social security, and irregular payments. Many employers exploited the workers\u2019 vulnerability due to their displacement, and there was no standard procedure for recruitment or employment. The enactment of this law ensured a structured approach to recruitment, work conditions, and welfare measures, thereby promoting fairness and accountability in employment practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/upsc-epfo-apfc\/?ref=conttm-aib\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enrol in UPSC EPFO APFC Online coaching<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-background-of-the-inter-state-migrant-workmen-act-1979\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_of_the_Inter-State_Migrant_Workmen_Act_1979\"><\/span>Background of the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India has always witnessed significant inter-state migration of workers, particularly in sectors such as construction, mining, plantations, and manufacturing.

To address these issues, the <strong>Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979<\/strong> was enacted. The law came into force on 1st September 1979 and was aimed at ensuring the welfare, fair treatment, and rights of migrant workers while promoting accountability among employers and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-objectives-of-the-act\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objectives_of_the_Act\"><\/span>Objectives of the Act<span
