LWF Registration

Secure Employee Welfare. Ensure Statutory Compliance. Build a Responsible Workplace.

What is LWF Registration?

Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) Registration is a state-mandated requirement under various State Labour Welfare Fund Acts. It mandates certain employers to contribute a nominal sum toward a fund that supports the welfare of workers and employees in the organized sector.

This fund is used by the state governments to offer various welfare measures such as healthcare, housing, education, maternity benefits, and recreational facilities for the benefit of employees and their families.

Employers are required to register and contribute to the LWF on behalf of their employees—usually monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the state’s law.

Who Needs to Register?

LWF registration is mandatory for:

• Private companies, factories, shops, and establishments with salaried employees

• Businesses in states where LWF Act is applicable (e.g., Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Delhi, etc.)

• Companies with even 5 or more employees are often liable (threshold varies by state)

• Both employer and employee contribute to the fund (contribution rates vary)

Note: Even if a company is already contributing to PF or ESI, LWF is a separate compliance requirement in applicable states.

Benefits of LWF Registration
