Section 13 — Power to make rules.

13. Power to make rules.—(1) The Central Government may, by notification, make rules for 

carrying out the provisions of this Act. 

(2) In particular, and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing power, such rules may 

provide for all or any of the following matters, namely:— 

(a) the manner in which complaint or claim referred to in sub-section (1) of section 7 shall be 

made; 

(b) registers and other documents which an employer is required under section 8 to maintain in 

relation to the workers employed by him; 

(c) any other matter which is required to be, or may be, prescribed. 

(3) Every rule made by the Central Government under this Act shall be laid, as soon as may be after it 

is made, before each House of Parliament, while it is in session, for a total period of thirty days which 

may be comprised in one session or in two or more successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the 

session immediately following the session or the successive sessions aforesaid, both Houses agree in 

making any modification in the rule or both Houses agree that the rule should not be made, the rule shall 

thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so, however, that 

any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done 

under that rule.
