Bare Act
The Mizoram Private Placement Agencies (Regulation) Act, 201
General197317 sections
This law regulates private agencies that find domestic workers, particularly women, for employers. It requires these agencies to obtain a license from the state government before operating, ensuring they follow proper procedures. The legislation aims to protect workers from exploitation and ensures that agencies are accountable. To get a license, agencies must pay a fee and provide a bank guarantee, and the license is valid for five years. The state government appoints a controlling authority to oversee these agencies and can revoke their licenses if they violate the rules or engage in fraud. This framework ensures the safety and rights of domestic workers are maintained.
