30. Effect of laws and agreements inconsistent with this Act.—(1) The provisions of this Act shall 

have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law or in the terms of 

any agreement or contract of service, or in any standing orders applicable to the establishment whether 

made before or after the commencement of this Act: 

Provided that where under any such agreement, contract of service or standing orders the contract 

labour employed in the establishment are entitled to benefits in respect of any matter which are more 

favourable to them than those to which they would be entitled under this Act, the contract labour shall 

continue to be entitled to the more favourable benefits in respect of that matter, notwithstanding that they 

receive benefits in respect of other matters under this Act. 

(2) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed as precluding any such contract labour from 

entering into an agreement with the principal employer or the contractor, as the case may be, for granting 

them rights or privileges in respect of any matter which are more favourable to them than those to which 

they would be entitled under this Act.
