According to the bill, this officer may overrule the exemption claim by directing the company concerned to "train local candidates to achieve the desired skill, qualification or proficiency".
Under the provisions of this bill, companies must register details of all employees getting gross monthly wages of less than ? 50,000 per month. This must be done within three months of the bill becoming law or a fine of between ? 25,000 and ? 1Lakh may be levied.
