Can anyone tell me about Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund rules applicable?

Subject: Re: Labour Welfare Register

Dear all,

Can anyone tell me about the Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund rules applicable? Please guide me.

Hi,

Please note that LWF is applicable in Karnataka. The provisions of the Act shall be restricted to establishments employing 50 or more persons. (Where an establishment has different branches or departments, all such branches or departments, whether situated in the same premises or different premises, shall be treated as parts of the same establishment).

Contribution per month at 3/- for employees and 6/- for employers is to be submitted in December.

Dear Sheikh,

As explained by Mr. K.S. Yadav, normally, the Labour Welfare Fund must be deducted from employees as well as from the employer. However, in practice, if you deduct Rs. 3 from any employee, you will have to spend time worth Rs. 3000/- to explain why such a deduction was made. Furthermore, maintaining records every month is also tedious.

That is why the entire amount of Rs. 9 is paid directly by the employer. When remitting, you may need to fill out a form, i.e., Form F - Labour Welfare Fund. In that form, the columns are very clear: employee contribution (Number of employees X 3) and employer contribution (Number of employees X 6), with the total amount for which the draft has been attached.

Now, I hope that Mr. Subbu also has his doubt clarified.

With warm regards,

In Andhra Pradesh, I paid Rs. 2 as employee contribution and Rs. 5 as employer contribution, altogether Rs. 7 per workman along with Form F and a list of workmen.

In addition to this, Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Welfare Cess of 1% is to be paid from the contract value of work done or work done during the year.

With warm regards,
