Statutory Payroll Compliance
    Service

    LWF Compliance.

    Labour Welfare Fund is a small contribution from employees and employers under state laws, paid to the state's Labour Welfare Board for worker welfare schemes. Not every state has one, and contribution periods vary: half-yearly in some states, annual in others. We deduct, pay and file for each state where your establishments are covered.

    Half-yearly or annual depending on the state. We prepare it in the payroll cycle in which the deduction falls and pay within the state's due period.

    1. 1

      Applicability check

      We confirm which locations and employee categories are covered under each state's LWF law.

    2. 2

      Deduction in payroll

      We deduct the employee share in the payroll month the state prescribes and compute the employer share.

    3. 3

      Payment and return

      We pay both shares to the state Labour Welfare Board and file the return or statement it requires.

    4. 4

      Unpaid accumulations

      Where the state law requires it, we track unpaid wages, fines and similar amounts that must be credited to the Fund.

    Before we start

    What we need from you.

    Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

    • LWF registration details for each state
    • Payroll register for the contribution month with employee counts
    • State board portal access
    • Details of fines and unpaid wages, where the state requires them
    How fees work

    The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.

    • Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
    • When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.

    Questions about LWF Compliance.

    No. LWF is governed by separate state laws, which the four Labour Codes did not replace.
