What are Labour Compliance Services?
Labour compliance is a mandatory requirement for businesses employing staff in India. Employers must comply with statutory regulations under Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance, and Professional Tax laws to ensure employee welfare and avoid legal penalties.
Provident Fund (PF) Compliance ensures that employers deduct and contribute the prescribed percentage of employee salary toward retirement savings under the Employees Provident Fund Act. Employers must file monthly returns and deposit contributions within statutory timelines to protect employee retirement benefits.
Employee State Insurance (ESI) Compliance requires eligible establishments to contribute toward employee medical and social security benefits under the ESI Act. Accurate calculation and regular return filing ensures employees receive the healthcare and insurance coverage they are entitled to.
Professional Tax (PT) Compliance is a state-level obligation where employers are responsible for deducting tax from employee salaries and depositing it with the respective state government — along with timely return filing. At EEGA Advisory Solutions, we provide end-to-end labour compliance services to keep your business fully compliant, protect employee rights, and safeguard you from regulatory penalties.

Who Needs These Services?
Labour compliance obligations apply to any business employing staff in India. Here is a clear breakdown of which businesses need each type of labour compliance.
PF Compliance
ESI Compliance
Professional Tax
Any business employing staff in India is subject to one or more labour compliance obligations. PF and ESI applicability is based on employee headcount, while Professional Tax depends on the state in which your business operates. EEGA Advisory Solutions assesses your specific situation and manages all applicable labour compliance requirements end to end.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to comply with labour laws can result in serious financial, legal, and operational consequences for your business.
Late or non-payment of PF and ESI contributions attracts significant penalties, interest charges, and damages under the EPF & ESI Acts.
Non-compliance triggers notices from EPFO and ESIC authorities, and can result in physical inspections of your business premises and records.
Persistent non-compliance can result in regulatory action that restricts business activities, affects tenders, and blocks government contracts.
Failure to contribute to PF and ESI damages employee trust and morale, affecting retention, recruitment, and overall workplace relationships.
Wilful non-compliance or persistent defaults can attract criminal prosecution under the EPF Act and ESI Act, with imprisonment provisions.
Labour non-compliance damages your business reputation with investors, clients, and banks — affecting credit facilities, contracts, and business relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about PF, ESI, and Professional Tax compliance in India.
PF compliance is mandatory for establishments employing 20 or more employees. Businesses with fewer employees can also register voluntarily under the EPF Act. Once registered — whether mandatory or voluntary — all PF obligations become applicable and must be met on an ongoing basis.
ESI compliance is required for businesses employing 10 or more employees (in most states) where employees earn up to the prescribed wage limit (currently ₹21,000 per month). Once an establishment is covered, both employer and employee contributions must be made monthly and returns filed half-yearly.
No, Professional Tax is applicable only in states where state governments have enacted the law. States such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat levy Professional Tax. The slabs, rates, and due dates vary by state. States like Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh do not levy PT.
Non-compliance with PF can result in damages ranging from 5% to 25% per annum on dues, along with interest at 12% per annum and penalties under Section 14B of the EPF Act. ESI non-compliance attracts interest at 12% per annum and penalties. Persistent defaults can result in prosecution and imprisonment under both Acts.
PF contributions must be deposited and ECR filed monthly by the 15th of the following month. ESI contributions are also due monthly by the 15th. ESI returns (Form 6) must be filed half-yearly — for the periods April to September (by November 11) and October to March (by May 12).
Yes, businesses can fully outsource PF, ESI, and Professional Tax compliance to professionals like EEGA Advisory Solutions. Outsourcing ensures accurate calculations, timely payments, correct filings, and complete record maintenance — significantly reducing compliance burden and the risk of penalties for business owners.
Both PF and ESI contributions must be paid on or before the 15th of the following month. For example, contributions for April must be paid by May 15th. If the 15th falls on a public holiday, the payment must be made on the immediately preceding working day to avoid interest and penalty.
Yes, Professional Tax is deducted from the employee's gross salary each month (or as per state-specific schedule) by the employer. The employer then deposits the total PT collected with the state government and files the return. Employers themselves may also be separately liable to pay PT on their own professional income or as an entity.
Yes, all three can be managed entirely online. PF is filed through the EPFO Unified Portal (unified.epfindia.gov.in), ESI through the ESIC Portal (esic.gov.in), and Professional Tax through the respective state government portal. EEGA Advisory Solutions manages all portal-based filings and payments on your behalf.
Employers must maintain employee registers (Form 9 for PF, Form 1 for ESI), salary and wage registers, attendance records, contribution challans, ECR filings, ESI returns, and PT payment records. These documents must be kept for the prescribed statutory period and produced during inspections. EEGA helps maintain all required records in an organised, audit-ready format.
