Dear friends,
Labour Welfare Fund that we are talking about differs from state to state, even though the basic purpose remains the same.
Please note that the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund (MLWF) is operational in the state of Maharashtra. According to the MLWF Act 1953, it is the employer's responsibility to file for the MLWF Returns (Office in South Mumbai - Mahapalika Marg) twice a year.
Thus, semi-annual returns for June and December every year are filed within 14 days from the last day of the applicable return, i.e., July 14 for the 6 months ended in June and January 14 for the preceding December.
The rate of contribution is as follows:
- For every worker earning wages/salary more than Rs. 3000 per month: Worker's contribution is Rs. 3 per month, and the employer's contribution is Rs. 18 per month.
- For every worker earning wages/salary more than Rs. 3000 per month: Worker's contribution is Rs. 18 per month, and the employer's contribution is Rs. 36 per month.
Most importantly, the form is known as A-1.
Hope this information helps you to some extent!

Hi Shaunak,
Thank you for that valuable piece of information you shared. I have a query on the rate of contribution. You have repeated the same sentence twice.
'For every workman having wages/salary more than Rs. 3000/- per month: Workmen's contribution is Rs. 3/- p.m and employer's contribution is Rs. 18/- p.m.
For every workman having wages/salary more than Rs. 3000/- per month: Workmen's contribution is Rs. 18/- p.m. and Employer's contribution is Rs. 36/- p.m.'
Can you please clarify? Also, I would like to know where I could procure Form A-1.
Warm Regards,

Dear Eme,
Sorry for the error. The first sentence on contribution goes as follows: "For every workman having wages/salary less than Rs. 3000/- per month..."
Thereafter, it is okay. Just check from your end on the contributions please. I had personally filled out these forms around 1 year back, but then my job profile got changed from Factory HR to Corporate HR. Nevertheless, thank you for bringing to my notice the error.

Hi Emereen,
Need some clarification -
"Section 10: “Unpaid accumulations” means all payments due to the employees but not made to them within a period of three years from the date on which they became due. It includes wages, Bonus, Gratuity legal payable but not any statutory contribution towards any PF, ESI etc"
what is meant by "date on which they became due". Suppose, I have Bonus declared in Mar-07 but to be paid in Sep-07. Now will this need to be deposited in Mar-10 or Sep-10.
