Struggling to Find the Format for Filing Annual Return Under Labour Laws Online? Need Advice!

I received a notice from [Login to view] through email and messages to file annual return under Labour Laws online, but couldn't find the format anywhere online. May someone advise for it.

Hi Neha Mandal,

Thank you for your guidance. I attempted to process the return as per your instructions, but unfortunately, I was not successful. I seem to be having trouble locating the specific format required for this return. When I used the search function, the result returned was "NOT KNOWN." I have attached a screenshot for your reference. Could you please provide further assistance or send the required format to my email address, anand.esicpf@gmail.com?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

I think what you are looking for is on the Shram Seva website of the Ministry of Labour. But I am not aware that it is compulsory to file it online.

Please check first if it is a spam or a scam email.

I do agree as it's not Spam.

Now we need to file all the labor related to returns using Shram Suvidha portal only. You need to update the data in the portal. You can link your ESI as well as EPF returns too in the same portal.

Hello Anand,

Find attached the amended payment of wages. This document contains all the details of the annual return along with Form D. I downloaded it from the same website, Simpliance - Labour Law Compliance (http://www.simpliance.in). If you have any doubts about filling out the form, you can ask on the website. They are labor law experts and will clear all your doubts on the spot. I found more information on this website.

Clarification on Labour Law Annual Return

Neha Mandal has provided the attachment of the Labour Law Annual Return. I would like some clarification about it.

Firstly, in column F, wage rates are required category-wise. I seek clarification on whether wage rates typically increase every six months under the Minimum Wage Act of 1936. Which rates should be provided?

Secondly, in small factories, Leave With Wages is usually paid in cash after the end of the financial year to all employees, regardless of whether they have completed 240 days in the financial year or not.

Thirdly, previously, the annual return was submitted for the calendar year. Is this return now to be submitted for the calendar year or the financial year?

Would anyone clarify if the return to be submitted under web support is compulsory to submit? Is it submitted for the calendar year or financial year?
