How to pay labor welfare fund to Bangalore, Karnataka? and does this apply for startups?

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?

Okay, sir. Give me some time, I will send it to you.

Please read paragraph 4 (iii) of The Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965 to clarify any doubts regarding its applicability.

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.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for the information. Our organization is comprised of fewer than 50 members; hence, I understand that we do not need to pay LWF until we exceed 50.

Thank you.

Hi,

Is there an online process to file annual returns, or is it compulsory to visit the office?

One line in reply will be greatly appreciated.

Till now, there is no option to file annual returns online. At least the KLWF Department is supposed to release an online payment option in Khajane-II.

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.

Pooja

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.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if we need to pay the LWF fund? There are 20 employees working at Multiplux. I am not sure whether we have to pay LWF for all 20 members or not.
