What HR Forms and Registers Are Legally Required for Small Companies? Plus, Tips for Starting a WhatsApp HR Group

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know what forms and registers HR has to maintain on a daily or monthly basis as per the law. I am working in a Pvt Ltd company with a strength of 30 employees. I am also interested in creating a WhatsApp HR group that would include members from HR/IR/ER/Personnel-Manager/Sr/Executive. Please help me in creating the WhatsApp group.

Objective of the group:

To discuss HR development topics and activities.

To clear our doubts related to HR, Personnel, IR, and ER.

To discuss the market scenario.

To post HR jobs.

To share moral and motivational articles.

To share legal information.

Kindly comment on the above-mentioned query about maintaining registers.

Simply make compliance with Shram Suvidha Portal and use their online register, which consolidates most of the registers to be maintained. Only the inspection register/books and accidents register/books would then be the main part of the physical register to be maintained unless any register is specified specifically for a specific type of industry.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your reply. I have been asked to maintain hard copies of the required and mandatory forms, i.e., FORM "O," "C," and Q. Also, I would like to know whether I have to register my company on the Shram Suvidha Portal and if it is chargeable. What is the procedure for the same?

Kindly explain to me in detail. So far, I have only maintained personal files of all employees and the PF challan file.

Kindly suggest.

Under HR jobs, there are no such forms, but loads of registers and returns to be maintained. This is an HR forum, so discussions are limited to the subject only.
