Answer:
here is your answer
Explanation:
No, you cannot employ children under 14.
There are exceptions to this – children in family businesses are allowed to work after school and during vacations. Children acting in movies, advertisements and sports are similarly allowed to work.
It is lawful to children between 14 and 18, as long as the places are not dangerous (explained below). The term used in the law for children between 14 and 18 is ‘adolescents’.
Someone is employing children in my neighbourhood. What can I do?
If you have observed that the law is being violated by someone, you can file a complaint with the police or the Magistrate. You can also also bring it to the notice of local NGOs who work with children, and who can take further steps. A police officer or a child labour inspector under the law can also file a complaint.
The offence is cognizable, meaning that a police officer can make an arrest or state an investigation without a warrant in case someone is employing a child or adolescent in a hazardous job in violation of the law. Children who are rescued from situations in which they were being made to work in violation of this law must be rehabilitated under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
What is the punishment for employing children in violation of the law?
Any person who employs a child below 14 or a child between 14 and 18 in a hazardous occupation or process can be punished with jail time of between six months and two years and/or fine between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 50,000.
A person can be punished for all other violations (for example, with respect to maintenance of register, work hours, health and safety conditions) with jail time of up to one month and/ or a fine of up to Rs. 10,000. First time offences can be settled if the person pays a certain sum of money.
There are a number of other laws which also punish employment of children. However, prosecution for the crime of employing children and adolescents will be under the child labour law. The laws include the Factories Act, Mines Act, Merchant Shipping Act and the Motor Transport Workers Act.
