Working in Tamil Nadu

What is different in Tamil Nadu.

  1. Shops & Establishments

    Shops and commercial establishments in Chennai come under the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act, which sets rules on registration, hours, holidays and records.

  2. Professional Tax

    In Tamil Nadu, Professional Tax is levied by local bodies such as the city corporation rather than a single state department, on the schedule each body notifies.

  3. Labour Welfare Fund

    Tamil Nadu runs a Labour Welfare Fund, with contributions from employers and employees as notified by the state.

  4. Contract labour

    Plants and sites using contract workers need principal employer registration and contractor records under the Labour Codes and state rules.

We confirm the current notified position for your local body and your sites before the first filing.
