We are an IT services organization started in 2015 in Bangalore, Karnataka. Do we need to pay the LWF fund? And does this apply for startups?

I understand that we need to pay Rs. 20/- (employee) and Rs. 40/- (employer) as per the new notification. However, I am not sure what the process is. Could you please guide me on how we can pay (online) and how to submit the returns?

Hi Rreddygk,

Thank you for the Form-D document. Could you please let me know if we need to visit the office and submit the Form-D, or if NEFT fund transfer would be sufficient? (Sorry if this query sounds silly, as I am new to all these processes, hence asking...) Also, is there any return that we need to file?

Once again, thanks in advance!

Dear Mr. Rakesh,

The very purpose of attaching Form-D is to submit the same duly completed and signed, together with NEFT details. You are new to this job, but nothing prevents you from going through the act at least once. Please make reading a daily habit to update your knowledge.

Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act is applicable to all establishments wherein ONE or more employees are working. The interpretation about 50 or more persons is wrong, I think.
