Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about labour law compliance in Kolkata — answered simply.

CLRA stands for Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970. Both the Principal Employer (the company hiring contract workers) and the Contractor (the agency supplying those workers) must register under this Act if 20 or more contract workers are employed at any time. Without this registration, contractors cannot legally operate, and employers risk heavy fines and work stoppages during Labour Department inspections.
Any employer or contractor engaged in building or construction activities employing 10 or more workers is required to register under the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act, 1996. This includes builders, real estate developers, civil contractors, road contractors, and infrastructure companies. Failure to register can attract fines and stop-work orders on construction sites.
Yes, PF (Provident Fund) registration is absolutely mandatory under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Any establishment employing 20 or more persons is required to register with EPFO. Once an establishment crosses the threshold, it must remain registered even if employee count later falls below 20. Employers contribute 12% and employees also contribute 12% of basic wages.
ESIC (Employee State Insurance Corporation) is a social security scheme under the ESI Act, 1948. It provides comprehensive medical care, sickness benefit (70% wages for 91 days), maternity benefit (26 weeks at 100% wages), disablement benefit, and dependent's benefit to insured employees earning up to ₹21,000/month. All factories and establishments employing 10 or more employees must mandatorily register under ESIC. The employer contributes 3.25% and employee contributes 0.75% of gross wages.
With all documents in place, most statutory registrations are completed within: PF Registration — 3–5 working days; ESIC Registration — 2–3 working days; BOCW Registration — 5–7 working days; CLRA Registration (Principal Employer) — 7–10 working days; CLRA Contractor License — 10–15 working days; Professional Tax — 3–5 working days. Timelines may vary depending on the volume of applications at the concerned government department at that time.
For PF Registration: PAN of the establishment, Address proof (electricity bill/rent agreement), Certificate of Incorporation / Shop & Establishment certificate, Bank account details, List of all employees with Aadhar & date of joining, Cancelled cheque. For ESIC Registration: Same set of documents plus employees' date of birth, nominee details, and salary details. We provide a complete document checklist once you contact us for a free consultation.
Absolutely! Startups can and should apply for labour compliances as soon as they cross the employee thresholds. In fact, getting compliant from the beginning protects startups from future liabilities. Startups can also voluntarily opt for PF registration even before reaching 20 employees — this builds employee trust and goodwill. We offer a special Startup Compliance Package that bundles PF + ESIC + Professional Tax at a discounted rate.
Non-compliance with labour laws in India can have serious consequences: Financial Penalties — PF default attracts interest at 12% p.a. + damages up to 25% of arrears; ESIC default attracts 12% interest; BOCW non-registration attracts fines up to ₹1,000/day; CLRA non-compliance attracts fines up to ₹1,000. Criminal Prosecution — Persistent non-compliance can lead to imprisonment of the employer or director. Business Disruption — Labour Department can issue stop-work orders, seal premises, or cancel licenses. Loss of Tenders — Most government tenders require proof of compliance with all labour laws.
Yes! We offer comprehensive monthly compliance packages. For PF: we prepare and file the ECR (Electronic Challan-cum-Return) every month and generate the challan for payment. For ESIC: we prepare and submit the monthly contribution statement on or before the 15th of every month. Our monthly retainer service ensures you never miss a deadline and are always inspection-ready. Contact us to discuss a customised monthly compliance plan for your business.
Yes, we always provide a Free Compliance Consultation before starting any registration. During this consultation, our expert will understand your business type, workforce size, and nature of operations; identify which compliances are mandatory for you; explain the timeline, process, and costs involved; and create a compliance roadmap. This ensures you invest only in what is legally required for your specific business. Use the contact form below or WhatsApp us to book your free consultation today.
Workmen Compensation (WC) Insurance is a mandatory insurance policy under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923. It protects employers from financial liabilities arising from work-related accidents, injuries, or death of employees. Without a valid WC policy, employers are personally liable to pay compensation — which can run into lakhs of rupees. It is particularly important for construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other high-risk industries. We assist in obtaining the right WC policy through approved insurers for your specific workforce and risk category.
