No, you cannot hire a person below the age of 18. The age of prohibition of employment has been linked to age under Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.
Exceptions have, however, been made in case of works in which the child helps the family or family enterprises.
The condition is that such enterprises should not involved any hazardous occupation. Another condition set forth is that they should work after school hours or during vacations.
