Notification and employer guidance
Punjab has withdrawn Notification Labour-LabOLWBM/2/2024-5L/140 dated 20 February 2025, which was issued under section 15 of the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965. The withdrawal notification is dated 30 October 2026 and appears in the Gazette of 31 October 2026.
What the Gazette establishes
Notification 536 states that the identified earlier notification is withdrawn with immediate effect. It does not provide revised employee or employer contribution amounts. The withdrawal should therefore be recorded against the earlier section 15 instrument in the establishment’s legal register.
Practical effect
To assess an establishment-specific consequence, first identify any process, authority or decision that relied on notification 140. Read the withdrawn instrument alongside the new one before altering that process.
Employer action
- Add notification 536 and its Gazette date to the legal register, cross-referencing the withdrawn February 2025 notification.
- Identify any internal instruction that cites the withdrawn instrument and obtain the original February text for comparison.
- Continue to assess contribution obligations from the applicable contribution provisions and rate sources. Do not change payroll deductions solely because this withdrawal notice has appeared.

The document withdraws one identified section 15 notification. It does not state that the Act or the fund has been abolished.
