Emigration Act, 1983 Alongwith Rules, 1983

This consolidated edition brings together the full Emigration Act, 1983 and the Emigration Rules, 1983, with clear, practitioner-oriented annotations and practical compliance resources. The book explains statutory definitions (emigrant, recruiting agent, protector of emigrants), statutory requirements for registration and licensing of recruitment agencies, and the emigration-clearance regime — now largely processed through the eMigrate portal and the Emigration Clearance (EC) mechanism for ECR passport holders. It sets out the duties and powers of Protectors of Emigrants (PoEs), procedural steps for issuing clearances, safeguards for women and vulnerable migrant workers, and the penal provisions that address illegal or fraudulent recruitment. Annotated checklists, model application and complaint formats, sample POE notices and a digest of recent enforcement actions (useful for compliance risk assessment) transform statute into operational guidance for recruiters, counsel and government officers. Designed for use in offices and courtrooms, this compact volume is the go-to reference for anyone engaged in regulated overseas labour migration from India.
