I am working in a construction firm. Recently, I have received a demand notice in the name of one of the partners from the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund regarding payment of outstanding dues. My query is whether my firm is actually liable to pay those dues. They have asked me to put my ESSTT code number of our establishment on the backside of the demand draft. What is ESSTT?

Dear Caniks,

The Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund Act is applicable to your company if your company has engaged 5 or more employees. If this Act applies to your company, your company is required to obtain registration under the Act, i.e., an establishment code, by submitting an application to the relevant authority and paying the contributions mandated by this Act, which includes both the employees' share and the employer's share. These contributions need to be made twice a year.

Your company must deduct the MLW Fund, representing the employee's contribution, from the employees' salaries every June and December. Additionally, the employer needs to contribute to the fund three times the amount deducted from the employees' salaries.

Please ensure compliance with the regulations outlined in the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund Act to avoid any penalties or legal issues.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Kaniks,

If your firm has engaged more than 5 employees, your firm is liable to pay the contribution to MLWF on a six-monthly basis. The contribution amount is Rs. 48 per employee for six months. I suggest that you consider the notice seriously and approach the Labour Inspector at Sahakarnagar, Pune office to clear out the dues.

For any more help, you can get in touch with me.

Thank you so much for your timely replies. Now, my query is: What does it mean to be an employee as far as this Act is concerned? As we are in the construction business, will the labor workers also be covered under the definition of an employee?

Dear Caniks, As per my concerns, workers are not considered as employees and their payment is on the basis of 26 days. Sincerely, Mimu143
