Praans Consultech Labour Law Library – FAQ, Holiday, Minimum Wage, LWF & Labour Code Hub
                     Unlocking India’s Labour Law Landscape: A Complete Guide to Compliance, Codes, and Employer
Resources
In today’s complex world of employment and workplace regulation, staying compliant with labour
laws is more important — and more challenging — than ever. For HR professionals, business
owners, and compliance teams in India, navigating the maze of legal frameworks can feel
overwhelming. Thankfully, resources like the Praans Consultech Labour Law Compliance Library
offer clarity, structure and up-to-date guidance on the most pressing statutory requirements. From
labour code FAQs to minimum wage tables, holiday calendars to LWF and gratuity compliance —
this library is designed to be a one-stop destination for every labour law need.
In this blog, we’ll take you through everything this powerful resource offers and explain how you can
use it to stay compliant, confident, and ahead of regulatory changes.
What Is the Praans Consultech Labour Law Compliance Library?
The Labour Law Compliance Library on Praans Consultech is more than just a list of documents. It
is a carefully curated repository of acts, rules, forms, notifications and compliance tools that
employers and HR teams need to meet statutory obligations under Indian labour laws. Whether you
are looking for a quick labour code FAQ explanation or detailed minimum wage updates, the library
brings all the essential content under one roof.
The world of Indian labour legislation has transformed in recent years with the introduction of four
major labour codes. These now govern wages, industrial relations, social security and occupational
safety — replacing many older laws. This library helps bridge the gap between legal text and
workplace implementation.
Why a Labour Code FAQ Section Is Critical
A common challenge for employers and payroll teams is understanding how labour codes apply to
real-world scenarios. This is where a labour code FAQ becomes invaluable. Rather than forcing
users to interpret dense statutory language, these FAQs answer practical questions such as:
What is the effective date of each code?
Which establishments are covered?
How does the Code on Wages affect overtime and bonus calculations?
Does gratuity still apply under the new codes?
By answering such questions in clear human language, the FAQ section ensures that compliance
isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a lived reality in your workplace.
Understanding Holiday Compliance in India
One statutory aspect that often goes unnoticed — until it causes payroll confusion — is compliance
with holiday laws. India’s labour laws recognise not only national holidays but also state-specific
festival and optional holidays. Ensuring that your workforce receives the correct holiday
entitlements, and that payroll reflects these accurately, is essential for employee satisfaction and
legal compliance.
The library’s holiday section offers:
Official holiday lists for various states
Definitions of compulsory versus optional holidays
Rules around holiday pay and working on a holiday
With this information in hand, HR teams can confidently design leave calendars that align with legal
requirements rather than guesswork.
Minimum Wage Compliance: Why It Matters
Minimum wage is a fundamental right of workers and a legal necessity for employers. The minimum
wage framework in India is guided by the Code on Wages, which sets standards for baseline
earnings across sectors and job classifications. However, because India’s labour market is vast and
diverse, minimum wages vary by state, industry and skill level.
The library helps you stay compliant with:
Updated state-wise minimum wage charts
Definitions of skill categories and wage bands
Compliance responsibilities for employers
Failing to pay the correct minimum wage can lead not only to legal penalties but also to reputational
harm and employee dissatisfaction. By centralising minimum wage data, the library makes
compliance easy, transparent and defensible.
LWF: Labour Welfare Fund – Often Overlooked, Always Mandatory
Another often neglected statutory requirement is the Labour Welfare Fund (LWF). These funds are
state-mandated and used to provide welfare benefits to workers — including housing, medical
support, education, and recreation. Employers are generally required to register with and contribute
to the LWF for all eligible employees.
What the library offers in this area:
State specific LWF contribution rates
Registration procedures
Employer versus employee liability
Filing deadlines and procedural steps
Whether you are starting a new business or just reviewing your statutory obligations, LWF
compliance is a detail you cannot afford to overlook — and the library makes it straightforward.
Gratuity — A Reward for Long-Term Service
Gratuity is a legally mandated benefit under the Payment of Gratuity Act, and it remains a core part
of employee compensation planning, even under the new labour codes. Gratuity essentially
rewards long-term loyalty — providing a retirement benefit to employees who have served a
company for five years or more.
The compliance library includes:
Calculation methods for gratuity payouts
Eligibility criteria
Filing and documentation requirements
This makes it easier for payroll professionals to plan for this significant long-term liability while
ensuring employees receive what they are legally owed.
Aparajita — Supporting Employers With Complex Compliance
One of the standout offerings tied to this library is Aparajita — Praans Consultech’s labour law

law and applying it accurately. For HR teams handling multiple compliance areas — from statutory
registers to e-filings — this solution acts as a hands-on guide and support companion.
