How to Pay LWF in Telangana (Step-by-Step Guide)
Many employers and compliance consultants face confusion when it comes to paying Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) in Telangana. Unlike some other states, Telangana LWF payment is linked with the Shops & Establishments Act portal, which often leads to uncertainty about the correct process.
This article provides a clear, practical, step-by-step guide to help you complete Telangana LWF payment correctly.
Why This Confusion Happens
In Telangana, LWF payment becomes available only after updating employee strength through the Shops & Establishments Act – Notice of Change. Until this amendment is completed, the LWF payment option does not appear on the portal.
