Single Integrated Annual Return - Haryana

Background

To make compliance with labour laws simpler and to avoid the duplication of effort by employers, the Government of Haryana introduced a Consolidated Annual Return system. Instead of submitting multiple separate returns under different labour legislations, employers now have the option to file one combined return along with maintaining integrated registers.

This reform is part of the State’s Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) initiatives and is meant to:

    • Reduce the paperwork burden on employers.
    • Improve transparency in reporting.
    • Enable labour authorities to monitor compliance more effectively.

    1. Punjab Shops and Estbalishment Act 1958
    2. Factories Act 1948
