- BOCW welfare boards: every State has one, funded by the construction cess. A registered building worker (18–60, with 90 days' work in 12 months) gets benefits such as:
- accident and death assistance;
- pension;
- maternity;
- children's education and marriage;
- tools and housing loans.
- Labour Welfare Fund boards: in States with an LWF law (for example Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). Contributions are deducted from wages twice a year or once a year. They fund scholarships, medical help, holiday homes and training.
- State unorganised workers' boards and schemes: for example, schemes for domestic workers, transport workers, auto-rickshaw drivers and street vendors.
