Welfare Fund is a state subject and the laws pertaining to payment of (labour) welfare funds differ from state to state. Similarly, there are lots of Welfare Funds constituted in some states. In Kerala, for example, every class of labour has separate welfare fund, and there are about 17 Welfare Funds for each class of workers, like, Toddy Workers, Abkari Workers, Beedi and Cigar Workers, Cashew Workers, Shop Workers, Tailors, Construction Workers etc. The Act pertaining to these welfare funds have separate treatment with regard to coverage of workers for whom provident fund have been contributed by the employer. Accordingly, those transport operators who are covered by Employees Provident Fund and Misc. Provisions Act need not pay welfare fund contributions under the Kerala Motor Transport Workers' Welfare Fund Act in respect of those employees who are covered by PF. Under Kerala Shops and Commercial Establishments Workers' Welfare Fund Act there is no such provision excluding the employees of shops or commercial establishments covered by PF from payment of welfare fund contribution. But the Kerala High Court in Kalyani V K Vs District Executive Officer and another (2012 KHC 2987) has held that since the establishments, viz, New India Talkies, Iritty, Kannur and New India Paradise DTS Cine House, Iritty, Kannur, are establishments covered by Provident Fund Act, which is a central enactment, there is no need of contributing separately to a welfare fund with the same objective.

The Kerala High Court in another case (Unni Mammu Haji vs. State of Kerala, 1989 (1) KLT 729) has observed that the Welfare Fund Act passed by the State Legislature applies only to such establishments to which the Central Act does not apply. Therefore, an establishment which contributes to provident fund which is a welfare contribution need not necessarily contribute to another welfare fund of the same objective.

In case of coverage due to non coverage of PF Act, certainly, all workers whether employed directly or indirectly (through contractor) shall be covered. In the latter case, of course, it will be the obligation of the principal employer to ensure that the contract workers are covered by welfare fund.

Welfare Fund being a state managed fund, the same should be remitted in the state where the employees work.
