End-to-End Compliance for Educational Trusts, Schools & Universities

Protect Your Trust Status, Secure Funding, and Ensure 100% Labour Law Compliance Across All Campuses
Educational institutions face complex compliance challenges—from safeguarding 12A/80G registrations, managing EPF/ESIC for teaching & non-teaching staff, and ensuring POSH & Maternity Benefit compliance, to meeting UGC/AICTE/state education mandates.
Educational Trust Compliance: Protect Your 12A Status. 100% Statutory Adherence for Schools & Colleges.
Running an educational institution is a dual fiduciary duty: academic excellence and statutory adherence. Unlike commercial businesses, a compliance failure here risks not just a fine, but the cancellation of your crucial Income Tax Exemptions (12A/80G) or the de-recognition by a statutory body (UGC/AICTE).

The Critical Compliance Pillars for Educational Trusts
We manage the complexity where Trust Law meets Labour Law, preventing liabilities that threaten your institution's existence.
Income Tax & Trust Law
EPF/ESIC/Gratuity
Many educational institutions struggle with teacher classification, often misunderstanding whether EPF and ESIC apply to teaching staff. Following a 1988 Supreme Court ruling, EPF is fully applicable to teachers, and incorrect treatment leads to serious non-compliance. We provide an EPF & Gratuity roadmap with accurate payroll processing, compliant gratuity calculations for teachers, and efficient bulk handling of EPF/ESIC for large non-teaching staff groups—ensuring complete statutory compliance across the institution.
POSH (Sexual Harassment)
Educational institutions must enforce strict zero-tolerance POSH compliance, as mandated by UGC and AICTE. The POSH Act applies to both employees and students, making the formation of a fully functional Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and regular training mandatory. We support complete ICC formation, conduct annual sensitization programs for staff and students, and ensure accurate filing of the POSH Annual Report, keeping your campus legally compliant and risk-free.
Minimum Wages & S&E Act
Non-teaching staff such as sweepers, clerks, and support personnel must be paid according to state-specific minimum wage notifications and comply with local Shops & Establishment (S&E) rules. Any deviation can trigger Labour Department inspections and reputational damage for the institution. We provide state-specific minimum wage integration, ensuring that all support staff wages are fully compliant and protected against local notices or penalties.
