The appointment letter and any revisions, the attendance and wage record, the leave record, contribution proofs, and the exit documents. Retention periods come from the Act that applies, commonly three years for wage and attendance registers and longer in several states.
For a small employer in Assam, the practical rule is to keep the employment file intact for as long as the person could raise a claim, which is longer than the register retention period.
Within eight months of the close of the accounting year, which for most companies means by the end of November for a year ending in March. Many employers in Assam pay it before the festival season instead, which is earlier than required and generally welcomed.
The bonus register and the return are part of the same obligation. Paying the money without keeping the record leaves the compliance half done.
CTC is what the employer spends. Take home is what reaches the employee bank account. Between the two sit the employer provident fund contribution, the employer employee state insurance share where it applies, gratuity provisioning, any insurance premium loaded into the number, and then the employee side deductions. None of that is hidden, but a single annual figure in an offer letter hides all of it.
The gap surprises new joiners in Nagaon more than anything else in the first month. Writing the monthly breakup into the offer letter removes the surprise before it becomes a resignation.
Final wages are due within two working days of the last working day, under section 17(2) of the Code on Wages, in force since 21 November 2025. That covers resignation, termination and retirement alike. The 30 and 45 day settlements that were normal in India before that date no longer meet the rule for wages.
Gratuity keeps its own timeline of 30 days under the Payment of Gratuity Act. Leave encashment and bonus sit on separate footing again, so a settlement is not one deadline but several.
Nagaon sits in Nagaon. Labour offices are appointed district by district, so that is the line that decides who inspects you.
