Service · Statutory compliance

Every due date,on one calendar.

PF, ESI, professional tax, labour welfare fund and the registers and returns under the four labour codes, tracked on one calendar across every state you employ in.

Overview

Statutory compliance.

The four labour codes replaced 29 central laws on 21 November 2025, and the Central Rules followed on 8 May 2026. States are notifying their own rules on their own timetable. For an employer with people in several states, the calendar is now longer, not shorter, while the transition runs.

We keep one compliance calendar per client, with each obligation, its legal basis, its due date and its owner. Every filing is prepared, reviewed by a second person and evidenced, so an inspection becomes a matter of opening a folder.

    PF, ESI, professional tax, LWF and shops and establishments registrations for each location.

  • Portal access

    Access to the government portals under your registrations, with you remaining the owner.

  • Payroll data

    Monthly payroll data from us or your payroll team, by the agreed date.

  • Location changes

    New offices, closures and headcount changes by state, as soon as they are decided.

  • Payment approvals

    A signatory who approves and pays challans before the due date.

  • Notices

    Any notice or letter from an authority, forwarded on the day it arrives.

Control statements: to be confirmed

  • One calendar, one owner per line

    Every obligation has a due date, a preparer and a reviewer; nothing lives in someone's head.

  • Maker and checker

    Every filing is reviewed by a second person before you are asked to approve it.

  • You own the registrations

    Portal credentials stay yours; our access can be withdrawn at any time.

  • Evidence by default

    No task is closed without the acknowledgement or challan saved against it.

  • Change log

    Legal changes that affect you are logged with the date we applied them.

Questions

Asked before
we start.

Anything else? The assistant answers from this website, or send the question with the form below.

Which states do you cover?

Compliance follows your establishments. We load each state's professional tax, labour welfare fund and labour-code rules into your calendar as the state notifies them.

Are the old labour-law registers still valid?

The Central Rules notified on 8 May 2026 prescribe new formats for registers of employees, wages and attendance. Where a state has not yet notified its own rules, we keep both until the transition settles.

Do you represent us before inspectors?

No. We prepare the records, the evidence folder and the working papers. Representation, where needed, is handled by the professionals you appoint.

Can you work with our existing payroll provider?

Yes. We take their monthly payroll data and run compliance on top of it.
