India's labour framework — the four Labour Codes (Wages, Industrial Relations, Social Security, OSH) together with PF, ESI and each state's Shops & Establishments Act — reaches virtually every establishment that employs staff. Thresholds for registration, returns and welfare duties vary by headcount and by state.
Cost of non-compliance
Non-compliance with wage, PF, ESI and OSH obligations can trigger recovery of dues with interest and damages, prosecution of the employer and named officers, and — for serious or repeat breaches — imprisonment and closure of the establishment under the relevant code. Exact amounts vary by statute and state.
