Confused About Labour Welfare Fund Deductions and Payments in Chennai? Need Immediate Help!

Dear Friends,

Please tell me when to deduct the Labour Welfare Fund and how to pay in Chennai. Is it payable only after obtaining the Labour license? Expecting your kind help immediately.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Mr. Prabhakar,

You need to deduct Rs. 7/- from the employees on the roll and Rs. 14/- to be made as management contribution in December month's salary. You can pay the amount on or before the 31st of January 2010.

Regarding payment, you need to remit through cheque/DD at 2nd Floor, DMS Compound, Teynampet, Chennai 18 (near Anna Arivalayam).

Dear Mr. Prabha,

Here are some points that answer the frequent doubts arising in members like you.

You can cover LWF up to the grade of Managers. All Directors and Authorized signatories (who have the right to punish employees) and Internal Consultants are exempted from LWF.

The LWF is deducted and remitted annually in December at Teynampet. Once becoming a subscriber of LWF, a Tamil monthly 'Uzhaippavar Ulagam' is sent to you. This carries the latest amendments, Trade Union laws, judgments related to Labour Act, etc.

LWF has no relevance to PF/ESI coverage in general. Those exempt under ESI will also be covered under LWF.

Fill up Form-A, mention the company name (without any LF code No), address, list of employees, fund particulars, and remit for the first time by chq/DD. A new LF No will be allotted later in the receipt.

Forward a copy of this receipt and annexure particulars to the Finance Department of your company.

Regards,

Chandru

Admin. Assistant.

Sir,

For calculating E.L (for the year 2010), what components should be considered? (e.g., absent, C.L, E.L). Also, what is the meaning of the number of days working [(365 days - 52 Sundays - N.F.H)]? Is this correct? Kindly guide me.

Chandu

I have not paid the contributions of a few employees who had joined in Dec 2008. By mistake, I didn't make their contributions. Can anyone suggest a solution? Can I pay the last contributions with the current return of contribution?

Please

Dear Rahul,

You have to deduct Rs. 6 for a gross salary below Rs. 3000 and Rs. 12 for a gross salary above Rs. 3000 as employee contribution. The employer's contribution is three times the employee's contribution. This deduction is made from the salary in June and December. The return should be submitted in Form A1 before the 15th of the following month.

Dear friends,

The LWF must be deducted from every December salary. It should be sent with a DD, cover letter, Form A, Form B, and Form C to the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Labour Welfare Board by January 31.

In addition to this, I would like to share that we need to deduct from the employees who have worked for more than 84 days during the said year.

Dear,

No deductions are to be made in Rajasthan under the head of LWF contribution.

Dear Chandu,

Please post your query on a different thread as this thread relates to the Labour Welfare Fund.

With Regards, R.N.Khola

Dear,

Send it now. Go through your State Labour Welfare Fund Act for the interest clause, and if there is an interest clause, then also pay the interest along with this delayed deposit of the contribution of Dec. 2008.

With Regards, R.N.Khola

Dear Chandu,

For EL, you have to consider the calendar year, i.e., Jan-Dec for leave calculation. Paid days need to be taken into account for EL calculation, like (No. of EL's / No. of working days * No. of paid days). For example, (Last Increment basic + Last increment VDA) / 30 * No. of EL's.

Thank you.

Dear T Prabhakar,

The Labour Welfare fund in Tamil Nadu (not only Chennai) is deposited annually, with the last date for deposit being the 31st of January each year to the TAMIL NADU LABOUR WELFARE COMMISSIONER. The worker's contribution is Rs. 5 per 12 months, while the employer's contribution is Rs. 10 per 12 months.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Prabhakar,

Every December, you are required to deduct Rs. 3 from the employee's side and Rs. 6 from the employer's side for contribution.

Thank you.

Please study the relevant sections of The Factories Act or the Shops Act, whichever is applicable to you, and act accordingly. It will be mutually beneficial if you were to study the provisions of the relevant law and then ask specific questions.

Dear Friend,

The Labour Welfare Fund has to be deducted twice in a year, i.e., from the salary of the months of June and December, and it has to be deposited in favor of the "Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund" in the succeeding month. The ratio is 1:3. If an employee is drawing a gross salary of Rs. 3500 and below, they will have to contribute Rs. 6, and the employer's contribution will be Rs. 18. For those employees drawing a gross salary above Rs. 3500, the contribution will be Rs. 12, and the employer's contribution remains Rs. 18. The amount of contribution shall be paid through a challan in Form-A1.

Please check and confirm the above information and let us add to my knowledge if any.

Regards,
Mahadev K.

Dear Mahadev,

Thank you for sharing this information. Please reconfirm whether the employee who is drawing a gross salary above Rs. 3500 will have to contribute Rs. 12/-, and the employer's contribution will be Rs. 18/- or Rs. 36/-?

As per my knowledge, it is Rs. 36/-. Please confirm with me.

Gaurav
