Overview

What is Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) Return?

If you employ people, many states ask you to contribute a small amount to a Labour Welfare Fund (LWF). This money funds welfare schemes for workers — things like housing, education and medical help. The amount is small, but missing the filing can mean penalties. We handle the whole thing for you.

The Labour Welfare Fund is a state-run fund that supports the welfare of workers and their families. Both employer and employee contribute a small fixed amount, usually half-yearly or yearly depending on the state. Rates and rules differ from state to state — some states have no active private LWF at all.
