Frequently Asked Questions
A new company typically needs a Shop and Establishment registration (or Factory License), PF and ESIC registrations, a Professional Tax registration, and a GST registration depending on business scale. We handle the entire application process, gathering the required business proofs, filing the forms, and coordinating with government departments to secure your licenses.
Most business licenses (like Shop and Establishment or Trade Licenses) have validity periods and require periodic renewals. We track these expiration dates for you. Well before the deadline, we compile the necessary documents, pay renewal fees, and file the renewal applications to ensure your business continues operating without interruption.
Operating without proper licenses is illegal and carries severe consequences. This includes heavy financial penalties, interest charges, legal notices from the labor department, and in extreme cases, government orders to shut down your operations. It also damages your brand reputation and makes it difficult to secure client contracts.
Upon retirement (or if unemployed for 2+ months), an employee can withdraw their full PF balance. We assist the employee in filing the online withdrawal claim (Form 19 and Form 10C/10D for pension) through the EPFO portal, ensuring their bank details and KYC are correct so the funds are credited smoothly.
Under PF rules, the family of a deceased employee is entitled to PF balance, pension, and insurance benefits (EDLI – up to ₹7 Lakhs). We guide the family through the documentation process, help them fill Form 20, Form 10D, and Form 5IF, and coordinate with the PF office to expedite the payout during their difficult time.
Do not panic, but do not ignore it. A labor notice requires a formal, legal response. First, send us the copy of the notice. We will review it, identify what information/documents are requested (like attendance sheets, wage registers, or contribution receipts), draft a compliant reply, and represent your business before the labor officer if an in-person hearing is required.
