What is Labour Welfare Fund (LWF)?
Short answer
The Labour Welfare Fund is a state-level contribution from employees and employers. Amounts and collection months differ by state, and some states do not have it.
What varies
- The amount per employee and per employer.
- Whether it is collected monthly, in June and December, or once a year.
- The wage limit it applies up to.
In AdviHR
AdviHR can deduct LWF by state when a company turns it on. The state table has not been checked against each notification, so verify your state’s rate first.
