A business in Bathinda answers to Punjab for some of this and to central law for the rest. Bathinda district is the district for the local part.
Please check this before you act on it. Offices move, jurisdictions get redrawn and rates are revised, often quietly. Ring the department to confirm the address, and get your CA or labour adviser to sign off the compliance position. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Offrd is not affiliated with any office named here and does not act for them. These details were verified on 12 September 2026. Send anything that looks wrong to service@offrd.co.

Confirm this before you rely on it. Figures come from the district's profile current to March 2011 and are dated. The document states explicitly that the district has no identified cluster, naming only a potential air cooler parts cluster with no figures attached. Office addresses and contact details can change on a notification you will not see. Verify the office and its current jurisdiction before you act on it, and take advice from your chartered accountant or labour law adviser. None of this is legal or tax advice.

Employees earning gross wages up to 21,000 rupees a month, and up to 25,000 rupees where the employee has a disability. The scheme applies to factories and establishments with ten or more people, though for non factory establishments the threshold comes from a state notification and is not the same everywhere.
The employee contributes 0.75 percent of gross wages and the employer 3.25 percent, and contributions are due by the fifteenth of the following month. Once an establishment is covered it remains covered even if headcount later drops.
The effective date, the revised annual figure, the revised component breakup, and whether any arrears are payable for months already run. If the designation is changing too, say so explicitly rather than letting a new title appear in the salary letter without comment.
The component breakup is the part small companies skip. A revision that raises the allowance and leaves basic pay untouched changes take home more than it changes provident fund, and employees notice.
Usually because the deductions are not explained. Provident fund at 12 percent of basic and dearness allowance, employee state insurance at 0.75 percent of gross where the wage ceiling applies, professional tax where the state levies it, and tax deducted at source under section 192. Four different bases, four different rules, and a single net figure at the bottom.
Showing the base alongside the deduction ends most of those conversations. So does keeping the salary structure stable, because a change in the basic pay share moves provident fund and gratuity at the same time.
Three to six months is the normal range in India, and the length comes from the appointment letter rather than from a central statute. What ends it is a confirmation letter. Where none is issued, the employee is usually treated as confirmed by conduct once the period has passed and they are still working.
Probation does not suspend anything statutory. Provident fund enrolment, continuous service for gratuity and maternity entitlement all run from the actual date of joining.
Bathinda sits in Bathinda. Labour offices are appointed district by district, so that is the line that decides who inspects you.
