What sanctions apply to child labour?
Anyone found guilty of hiring a minor (under 14 years old) or an adolescent (14-18 years old) for an illegal job faces a jail sentence of 6 to 24 months as well as a fine of 20,000 to 50,000 rupees. If a person is discovered to have engaged in child labour again after already receiving punishment, they may spend one to three years in jail.
