Dear Rupesh,

The submission of returns under various labor laws by industrial establishments in different periodicity is a statutory requirement failing which the concerned employers would be prosecuted by the designated authorities. Apart from that, the statistical and other relevant particulars furnished in such returns form part of the National Labor Statistics as well as the administrative reports compiled by the Central and State Governments under the various laws for which each one is the appropriate Government. Therefore, it is imperative on the part of every employer to submit the returns on time with correct particulars.

The following are the returns to be submitted by the occupier of a factory:

QUARTERLY RETURN:
To the District Employment Exchange.

HALF-YEARLY RETURN:
1) Under the Factories Act.
2) Under the CLRA Act in the case of a contractor's Establishment.

ANNUAL RETURNS:
1) Factories Act.
2) Returns in form L, M, N under the Maternity Benefit Act, if applicable.
3) Minimum Wages Act, 1948.
4) Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
5) Principal Employer's report under the CLRAA, 1979.
6) Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act.
7) ESI Act.
8) EPF Act.

To ascertain the proforma, the designated authority, and the due dates for submission, you may refer to your State Rules under each Act.

If I've missed any, others may please furnish the same.
