Dear Member,
Deposit of Labour Welfare Fund Contribution for 2019
It has come to notice that a number of employers are not in a position to upload the list of employees in CSV format on the Haryana Labour Department website for the deposit of Labour Welfare Fund Contribution for the year 2019 due to heavy workload. Keeping in view this difficulty, the Haryana Labour Welfare Board, Panchkula, has decided that at present, the Board will accept the contribution amount offline through a Demand Draft made in favor of Welfare Commissioner, Haryana, payable at Panchkula. A copy of the letter issued to the field staff by the Board is attached herewith for your ready reference.
According to this letter, the Haryana Labour Welfare Board has decided that receipts of Labour Welfare Fund Contribution under Section 9A of the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965, will be accepted from the concerned establishment through offline mode. Therefore, you can submit the Labour Welfare contribution through drafts in favor of Welfare Commissioner, Haryana, payable at Panchkula.
Now, in our opinion, employers who could not deposit the LWFC by the online method may utilize this circular. We should prepare a Demand Draft for the amount of contribution for the period from January to March 2019 as per the previous contribution rate and a second draft of the amount of contribution for the period from 1st April 2019 to 31st December 2019 as per the latest contribution rate.
Note: Please be informed that we are required to deposit the amount of contribution for the year 2019 by 31st March 2020, with the Board; failing which, we will also be liable to pay interest as a penalty.
