Account Registration
Create your account as an Architect or as an Officer (DEO / BOCW / LEO / RDC).
Before You Begin
Every user of the Online Labour & Cess System must have a registered account. There are two account types:
| Account Type | Who Uses It | Admin Key Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Architect | Architects / applicants who submit labour registration forms | No |
| Officer | DEO, BOCW, LEO, or RDC staff who review applications | Yes |
Path A — Registering as an Architect
Follow these steps to create a standard Architect account. No admin key is needed.
Open the Registration Page
From the home page, click Register in the top navigation bar, or navigate directly to /Account/Register.
Enter Your Full Name
Type your full legal name in the Name field. This name will appear on all submitted forms and the final registration certificate.
Designation — Leave as "Architect"
The Designation field is pre-filled with Architect for standard accounts. Do not change this value. It is used by the system to assign your role (Level 0).
Enter Your Email Address
Provide a valid, working email address. All challan receipts, submission confirmations, and shortfall notifications will be sent here. Each email address can only be registered once.
Set a Password
Enter a strong password in the Password field. Passwords must be at least 6 characters. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
Confirm Your Password
Re-enter the same password in the Confirm Password field. Both fields must match exactly before the form can be submitted.
Leave Admin Key Blank
The Admin Key field must be left empty for Architect accounts. Entering any value here will cause the registration to fail or assign an incorrect role.
Click Register
Click the Register button. If all fields are valid, your account is created immediately and you are redirected to the login page.
Path B — Registering as an Officer
Officer accounts (DEO, BOCW, LEO, RDC) require a special Admin Key that is issued by the system administrator. Without this key, you cannot create an officer account.
Open the Registration Page
Navigate to /Account/Register from the home page.
Enter Your Full Name
Type your full official name as it should appear in the system.
Enter the Admin Key
Type the Admin Key BOCW@Admin#2024 exactly as shown (case-sensitive) in the Admin Key field. This unlocks the officer-level fields below.
Select Your Officer Level
A Level dropdown appears after the Admin Key is accepted. Select your role:
- DEO — Data Entry Operator (Level 1)
- BOCW — Building & Other Construction Workers Officer (Level 2)
- LEO — Labour Enforcement Officer (Level 3)
- RDC — Regional Deputy Commissioner (Level 4)
Once you select a level, the Designation field is automatically filled with the corresponding title.
Enter Email, Password, and Confirm Password
Fill in your official email address, choose a strong password, and confirm it — same as the Architect path above.
Click Register
Submit the form. Your officer account is created and you can log in immediately. You will be directed to the Officer Dashboard upon first login.
Registration Field Summary
| Field | Architect | Officer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Required | Required | Full legal name |

Troubleshooting
Email already registered
Each email can only be used once. If you see this error, try logging in with that email instead. If you have forgotten your password, contact the system administrator.
Passwords do not match
Re-enter both password fields carefully. Ensure Caps Lock is off.
Invalid Admin Key
The key is case-sensitive. Verify you are typing BOCW@Admin#2024 exactly. Contact your administrator if you do not have the key.
Level dropdown not appearing
The level dropdown only appears after a valid Admin Key is entered. Make sure the key is correct and try again.
Next Steps
Once your account is created:
- Architects → Log in and go to the Dashboard to begin a new registration.
- Officers → Log in and go to the Officer Dashboard to review pending applications.
