Frequently asked questions

What is an employee welfare fund?+

A pool of money, often from employee contributions and sometimes matched by the company, used to support members in emergencies such as illness or bereavement.

Is labour welfare fund the same as a company welfare fund?+

No. The labour welfare fund is a statutory contribution in some states, while a company welfare fund is a voluntary internal scheme.

Can I get my welfare fund contributions back when I leave?+

That depends on the fund's rules; many internal funds are non-refundable because they work like mutual support.
