Got questions?

What is HR compliance in India?

HR compliance in India means following all labor laws, wage regulations, and statutory requirements set by central and state governments. It includes EPF/ESI contributions, minimum wage adherence, proper working hours, leave policies, and timely statutory filings.

What are the main labor laws in India?

India has four new labor codes: Code on Wages (2019), Industrial Relations Code (2020), Social Security Code (2020), and Occupational Safety Code (2020). Key traditional acts include the Factories Act (1948), Maternity Benefit Act (1961), Payment of Gratuity Act (1972), and POSH Act (2013).

What statutory forms must HR teams regularly file?

Essential forms include Form XVI (annual EPF return), ECR (monthly EPF/ESI return), LIN registration, Form 5/10 (Factories Act annual returns), Form 24Q (quarterly TDS on salary), and various state-specific half-yearly returns.

Do compliance requirements differ across states?

Yes, significantly. Minimum wages, Shops and Establishments Act provisions, professional tax rates, and public holidays vary across states and union territories. Organizations operating in multiple states must track state-specific requirements.
