The Real Cost of Compliance Errors

Statutory compliance is not optional. Minor oversights today can lead to major legal and financial hurdles tomorrow. Regulatory bodies have become highly automated, catching errors faster than ever.

Wrong Classification

Classifying employees incorrectly can lead to retroactive penalties and massive interest payouts.

Wage Miscalculation

Small errors in calculating the gross wage for ESI or PF can result in your filing being rejected by the portal.

Missed Deadlines

Late filing attracts 12% to 25% interest per annum depending on the delay duration.

Data Mismatches

Difference between payroll records and portal data triggers auto-notices from the department.

Potential Penalties

Interest on Delay12% / Year
Damages (6mo+ Delay)Up to 25%
