Overview
India's labour laws are extensive. Since 21 November 2025 the four Labour Codes replace most central labour Acts, while many states still use their older forms until their own rules are final.
We make sure your office or factory meets every applicable requirement, so you avoid prosecution, penalties and disputes.

Frequently asked questions
We have 12 employees in Bengaluru. What are the main registrations?
Typically Shops & Commercial Establishments registration on e-Karmika (or OSH Code registration if applicable) and Professional Tax registration and enrolment. At 10+ employees also ESI (in notified areas), Karnataka LWF (from 7 January 2026), a POSH Internal Committee and gratuity liability. EPF becomes mandatory at 20 employees; voluntary coverage is possible earlier.
Do we still renew our Karnataka Shops registration?
No. Since the Karnataka S&CE (Amendment) Act 2026 (gazetted 4 September 2026), registration is valid until closure. You still report changes and file Form U by 31 January.
