Dear Saravanan,

Your posting is very informative and useful, but the EPF contribution for employees you mentioned is 13.61%, which is actually 12% for employees and employers contribute 12% with an additional 1.61%.

An important aspect that needs to be added to your posting is the registers that must be maintained under the Factory Act of 1948. These include the muster roll (Form No. 22), Form No. 11, Form No. 14, Form No. 23, wage slips, standing orders, appointment letters, and the display (Form No. 19 abstract). These are all obligatory for the employer to comply with statutory requirements, along with the registers under ESI and EPF.

Please advise if I am mistaken.

Dear Sarvanan,

1.61% is not for the tax; it is Administrative charge + EDLI + Inspection charges. The forms and registers which I have mentioned are available in the stationary bookstalls, as I don't have those in soft copies. If you need the address of the bookstalls in Bangalore, I can help you out.

Thank you, Mr. Ramnath, for your response. I apologize for the delay in my reply. As you mentioned, the registers are available in bookstores, and I have started maintaining the statutory registers since I have taken up the role of an HR in a hospital. Your information has been extremely valuable to me.

Hi Gayathri,

I think you are asking about Privilege leave. Actually, it was in tabular format, but the system did not allow me to insert it in that format. Let me explain that. Those who have worked less than 240 days in a year can't avail even a single PL. But those who worked between 240 - 260 days can avail 12 - 13 days of PL (1 PL for every 20 days worked), and those who worked between 260 - 280 days can avail 14 PL. Those who worked more than 280 days can avail a maximum of 16 days of PL. They can also encash it if it is accumulated. I hope you understand this.
