Dear Vishal G,
If no one from your state member is replying then purchase the book on Bombay Labour Welfare Fund Act from the Labour Law Book-seller of your area & then go through the definition of the employee & the contribution provisions of this Act or otherwise do as the Inspector directs you.

If the Inspector has directed to contribute Labour Welfare Fund, you have to pay. If the Bombay Labour Welfare Fund Act exempts persons who are either managers or in supervisory capacity from the definition of an employee as is the case under many other labour enactments, then exempt them from contribution and contribute Labour welfare Fund in respect of others.
Being an IT company can you say that all those who are working in your company are "managerial or Supervisory" employees? What is meant by an employee having managerial or supervisory powers? If you simply say that one person is a supervisor, the same may not be accepted unless you prove that he has any supervisory powers, at least to sanction a leave to his subordinate employee or to appraise the performance of a subordinate.
It is not even possible to imagine that an establishment can work without "employees" but only with "Managers". IT sector may enjoy some benefits but not exempted from operation of basic laws. Therefore, if your IT Company is given licence to run under the Maharashtra Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, you are bound to pay welfare fund also subject to such conditions as provided under the Act.

Welfare Fund is a state subject and, therefore, the contribution and returns thereto should also be sent for each unit separately to each state’s welfare fund board. Regards, Madhu.T.K

If separate offices in different states where your employees work have separate Shops and Establishment Registration you have to contribute as per that state's policy irrespective of the location of head office and coverage of LWF to it.
