Talk to Mohammed AbubackarFounder & CEO, Value First
It depends on your state, headcount and type of operation. Most businesses need Shops & Establishments or Factory registration, plus EPF, ESIC and Professional Tax once they cross the applicable thresholds. We map exactly what applies to you in the first consultation.
Yes. We handle registrations, monthly contributions and returns, and reconciliation for EPF, ESIC, Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund.
Yes. Rules, rates and due dates vary from state to state. We manage them centrally so every branch follows one consistent process.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties, interest on delayed contributions, prosecution in serious cases, and disruption during inspections. Staying proactive costs far less than fixing problems after a notice arrives.
Yes. We verify that your contractors and manpower vendors meet their statutory obligations — which protects you as the principal employer.
Yes. We prepare you for inspections and respond to statutory notices with the right documentation, and follow them through to closure.
Yes. We work with businesses of every size — from first registrations for a new company to multi-location compliance for large organisations.
