Dear All,
Provision for Unified Annual Return
Provision for Unified Annual Return is provided on the Shram Suvidha Portal by the Central Labor Department. Since there are state rules in every state, most HR professionals are accustomed to adhering to state rules and submitting the Annual Return under the Factory Act to the state authority. Additionally, in most states, a provision for an Online Single Integrated Annual Return is also available.
Confusion Regarding Submission Portals
Now, there is confusion about where we should submit the online return—on the Shram Suvidha Portal or the state portal? Another point of confusion is that the name of the return (Unified/Single Integrated) itself suggests that we should submit one common return for all returns under different acts. However, there is no notification to stop submitting returns under different acts. Consequently, many in the fraternity are submitting both online integrated returns as well as separate hard copy returns under various acts. Can anyone provide guidance on this matter?
Thank you.
