Applicability, Due Dates & Registration
Governing Act
Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965, as adopted by Haryana
Who It Applies To
Establishments with 10 or more employees (factories, motor bus services, shops/commercial establishments), or 20 or more for registered societies and charitable trusts.
Due Date
Monthly deduction, with annual deposit to the Haryana Welfare Commissioner due by December 31 each year.
Registration
Both employer and employee register through the Haryana Labour Department website or the Shram Suvidha Portal, submitting documents and paying registration fees.
The cap is indexed to the consumer price index every 1 January, so it moves a rupee or so each year: ₹31/₹62 until 2024, ₹34/₹68 for 2025, and ₹35/₹70 from January 1, 2026 under Haryana Labour Welfare Board Notification No. HLWB/REV/2026/3436 of May 8, 2026. Because that notification arrived in May with effect from January, employers who deducted ₹34 for January to April 2026 owe the ₹1 difference (₹3 with the employer share) for each of those months.
