OSH & WC (Central) Rules, 2026 — G.S.R. 345(E) · Rule 72(5) r/w Rule 74

Form XVII — Annual Return

The one return every establishment sends to the Inspector-cum-Facilitator for the calendar year. Part I below is the whole of what a factory has to answer; Part III is the principal employer's contract-labour return.

Part II is not reproduced here. It applies only to mines, and asks for mineral type, pit slope, void volumes and statutory mine personnel — nothing a factory or a shop establishment fills in. If you operate a mine, Part II has to be prepared separately against the gazette text.
