Dear All,

I would like to inform you that my branch (Bangalore office) will be closed with effect from 1st January 2022 onwards. All staff will be working from home. I need a letter to be sent to the Bangalore office. Can anyone help me draft this letter?

Thank you.

What is a profession office?

If you have obtained registration under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, you need to surrender the RC giving reasons. For that, a plain application addressed to the Labour Officer concerned is sufficient. Since provident fund and ESI will continue to be deducted and contributed, there is no need to inform them of the closure. But the main issue is that for sending letters and communications and for conducting inspections as required under various laws, viz, Shops Act, EPF Act, or ESI Act, you should give an address. You should have a point of contact for all these Acts. When your employees work from their respective homes and when the office is closed permanently, obviously, the question of payment of their profession tax will arise. Profession tax being a subject of local administration, you will also have to make arrangements to pay the profession tax of each employee in the municipal corporation/panchayat where he is residing and working.
