What We Execute for You

Critical Compliance

The Cost of Getting Closure Wrong

When you close a factory, shut down a shop, or exit a location, employment law doesn't just end — it escalates. Improper closure triggers penalties that can destroy businesses and land directors in criminal court.

EPF Closure Violations

₹1,00,000 - ₹5,00,000

Criminal Prosecution Under EPF Act

  • Up to ₹5 lakhs + 12% interest on unpaid dues
  • Section 14 EPF Act - Imprisonment up to 3 years
  • Personal prosecution of directors/officers
  • Mass claims filed by exiting employees
  • Blacklisted from future EPF registrations

"In 2023, [Company Name] faced ₹8.7 lakh penalty + criminal proceedings for improper EPF closure affecting 47 employees."

ESIC Closure Violations

₹50,000 - ₹3,00,000

Penalties + Medical Liability

  • ₹50,000 per month of non-compliance
  • Ongoing liability for employee medical benefits
  • Unannounced inspections at other units
  • Retrospective demand for unpaid contributions
  • Can't surrender; ongoing obligations continue

"ESIC demanded ₹4.2 lakhs in back contributions 18 months after factory 'closure' because exit formalities weren't completed."

Factories Act Closure Violations

₹2,00,000 - ₹10,00,000

Criminal Offense + State Prosecution

  • Closing without license surrender = illegal operation
  • Ongoing responsibility for factory premises safety
  • Labour Commissioner can file FIR
  • ₹2 lakh per violation, compounded monthly
  • Open-ended liability for past employees

"Manufacturing unit 'closed' in 2021 received ₹12 lakh penalty notice in 2024 because license was never surrendered to state govt."

Contract Labour License Violations

₹1,00,000 - ₹5,00,000

Contractor Liability + Principal Employer Risk

  • All contractors become direct employees
  • Pay all statutory benefits since engagement
  • Principal employer liable even if contractors violated
  • Future license blacklist in that state
  • ₹1 lakh per contractor; can cascade to ₹10-20 lakhs

"Company faced ₹18 lakh demand when 64 contractors were deemed employees due to improper license surrender."

Shops & Establishments Violations

₹25,000 - ₹2,00,000

State Penalties + Tax Liabilities

  • Ongoing registration fees charged annually even after closure
  • Unpaid professional tax continues to compound
  • Municipal notices: Trade license and S&E violations stack
  • Each missed renewal = new penalty
  • Some states have criminal provisions

"Retail chain discovered ₹3.2 lakh in accumulated S&E penalties across 8 'closed' stores because deregistration was never filed."

The Compounding Effect

₹10,00,000+

Aggregate Liability Across All Acts

  • Penalties compound: EPF + ESIC + Factories + Contract + S&E = ₹10L-30L
  • Criminal proceedings multiply: Multiple authorities can prosecute simultaneously
  • Director disqualification: Under Company Law for noncompliance
  • Bank account freezing: Recovery through account attachment
  • Future venture damage: Negative records follow you to next business
  • Investor/acquirer diligence failure: Past violations kill M&A deals

"Founder couldn't raise Series A because due diligence uncovered ₹22 lakh in unresolved labour law closure violations from previous venture."
