A Child Labour Rehabilitation-cum-Welfare Fund is a fund which is established for every one or two districts. The fine paid by the employer is deposited into this Fund.

Further, the Government has to deposit Rs.15000 more for each for each child or adolescent for whom the employer has been fined.

This Fund is managed by a Bank. Any interest on the money in the bank, will go to the child.
