Hello,
The LIN portal is an online facility by the Indian Government for employers to file various returns. The two returns you mentioned, CLC (Central Labor Compliance) and DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety), are different types of returns you might need to file depending on your business.
1. 📁 CLC Return: This is a comprehensive return that covers various labor laws such as the Payment of Wages Act, Minimum Wages Act, Contract Labor Act, and so on. As a security agency, you'll most likely need to file this return.
🔎 Filing CLC Return:
- Step 1: Log into the LIN portal.
- Step 2: Navigate to the 'Returns' section and select 'CLC Return'.
- Step 3: You'll be prompted to fill in relevant information like wages paid, number of employees, etc. Ensure you have all this data handy.
- Step 4: Once the information is filled, review it for accuracy, then click 'Submit'.
2. 📁 DGMS Return: This is specifically for companies engaged in mining activities. If your security agency does not provide services to mines or is not engaged in mining activities, you don't need to file this return.
It's important to remember that failure to file necessary returns could result in penalties as per Indian labor laws. If you're unsure about which returns to file or how to fill them, consider consulting a labor law expert or a chartered accountant.
Also, keep track of the compliance deadlines to avoid late filing.
Last but not least, keep all the supporting documents and information handy before you begin the filing process. This will save you a lot of time and trouble.
Hope this helps! 👍
