Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

RETURNS TO BE FILED UNDER LABOUR LAWS


Dear Deshmukh ,
You will recall my talking about a compilation of the RETURNS to be filed under various Labour Laws , which you had compiled some 35 years back, when both of us worked at L&T ( Powai Works )
For past few months, there is a lot of talk about simplification of labour laws , to improve our “ Ease of Doing Business
Such simplification is progressing along following lines :
#  Eliminate obsolete laws
#  Combining a few to reduce the numbers
#  Making these “ liberal / less stringent “ as far as compliance is
    concerned

As far as the last point is concerned , it would be great if the number of returns that need to be filed ( by the employers ) , is vastly reduced

And if it is a MUST , to enable ONLINE filing
I have tried to put together , different lists of our Labour Laws from different sources, as seen below
Against each , we need following info ( in a tabular fashion ), as you had compiled earlier :
#  Name of the RETURN
#  Frequency with which to file /submit ( Monthly-Quarterly–Annually )
#  Date / Month by which to file
#  Filing Authority ( Factory Manager / Occupier etc )   
#  If ‘ Offline “ filing , then Name / Address of Govt Agency to whom to
    Send
#  If “ Online “ , URL of the website where to upload
#  Nature of Company / Organization which is obliged to file
#  Any thing else that comes to your mind

I realize that you may not have time to undertake this exercise on your own
But , may be someone in L&T ( trainee in Personnel Dept ? ) could easily compile such a tabulation , in 2 / 3 days
Even, this could be a tiny “ project / assignment “ for some student of a Management College , doing his / her MBA ( HR )
In fact , ideally , such a tabulation should be prepared by institutes such as NIPM / ASSOCHAM / CII / FICCI etc , for the benefit of its members
Such a tabulation can provide a BASIS for such institutions for starting a dialogue with the Central Govt / State Governments / NITI Aayog
Please , let me know the possibility to come up with such a tabulation within 3 / 4 weeks
You will be doing a great service by doing so
Regards
