We are an IT services organization started in 2015 in Bangalore, Karnataka. Do we need to pay the LWF fund? And does this apply for startups?
I understand that we need to pay Rs. 20/- (employee) and Rs. 40/- (employer) as per the new notification. However, I am not sure what the process is. Could you please guide me on how we can pay (online) and how to submit the returns?

Hi Rreddygk,
Thank you for the Form-D document. Could you please let me know if we need to visit the office and submit the Form-D, or if NEFT fund transfer would be sufficient? (Sorry if this query sounds silly, as I am new to all these processes, hence asking...) Also, is there any return that we need to file?
Once again, thanks in advance!

Dear Mr. Rakesh,
The very purpose of attaching Form-D is to submit the same duly completed and signed, together with NEFT details. You are new to this job, but nothing prevents you from going through the act at least once. Please make reading a daily habit to update your knowledge.

Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act is applicable to all establishments wherein ONE or more employees are working. The interpretation about 50 or more persons is wrong, I think.

Ok, I understand. Can you cite where it is shown in the Act that the Act is applicable to commercial establishments only if the number of employees exceeds 50 so that I can also direct my persons in Bangalore accordingly and avoid paying the contribution?

Read para 4 (iii) of The Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965 to clear your doubt about the applicability. Suresh

It is clear that as per section 4(iii), an establishment is one which employs more than 50 employees. At the same time, an employer is one who employs at least one person. Ok, it is clear. Thank you.

Hi,
My company is registered in Haryana, but we have provided services to Reliance in Karnataka. Hence, Reliance is asking us to pay KLWF in Bengaluru for the same. Could you please confirm whether we can submit the payment or not? Additionally, could you confirm the late payment penalty charges that apply? Can we send Form D along with a DD by courier to the office address of KLWF in Bengaluru, Karnataka?
I urgently request confirmation.

Dear Pooja,
It's really better to courier the form D and pay the payment through a cheque near any bank nearby, mentioning all the details. Send one copy to Reliance and keep the other copy with you for future reference.
