Return Filing

Filing regular returns with government bodies is a strict statutory requirement that cannot be ignored. In India, the compliance calendar is packed with monthly, half-yearly, and annual deadlines across various departments. Delays, calculation errors, or data mismatches in your PF, ESI, or Labour returns invite heavy penalties, compounding interest, and unnecessary scrutiny from government authorities.

TrustLex Consulting acts as your dedicated compliance guard, ensuring your business meets every single deadline with flawless accuracy, keeping you entirely risk-free.

The Complexity of Statutory Returns

Many businesses struggle because payroll data must be perfectly aligned with the specific formats required by different government portals. An error in a single employee’s UAN (Universal Account Number) or an incorrect ESIC contribution calculation can result in rejected files and delayed challan generation, leading to default notices.

• Professional Tax (PT) Returns: Timely filing of monthly or annual PT returns as per the specific slab rates and rules of your state.
• Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) Returns: Filing state-specific LWF returns (usually due half-yearly in June and December, or annually, depending on the state).
