The challenge
What keeps compliance leaders up at night.
Compliance rarely fails because teams don't know the rules. It fails because hundreds of obligations, spread across states and locations, never get checked consistently.
Hundreds of obligations
Spread across states, locations and business units, with no single source of truth.
Multi-state complexity
A different minimum wage, register and filing in every state.
Errors surface late
Wage rule breaches and shortfalls that appear only during an audit.
Missed renewals
Licenses and registrations that lapse before anyone notices.
Contractor gaps
Vendor and contract labour compliance with little visibility.
Manual, spreadsheet-bound
Processes that don't scale as the business grows.
Amendments go unnoticed
Rule changes that slip past teams until it's too late.
Sudden inspections
Labour notices that trigger penalty exposure and scramble mode.
Compliance doesn't fail for lack of knowledge. It fails for lack of execution.
What Audit Narayan covers
One AI colleague for every labour-law compliance.
Different compliance requirements create different challenges. Audit Narayan brings the relevant data, checks and exceptions into one consistent workflow.
Payroll Compliance
Gross-to-net validation for every employee: wages paid by the 7th, overtime at twice the ordinary rate, lawful deductions, and full-and-final settlement within 2 working days.
Statutory Compliance
PF and ESI under the Code on Social Security, calculated on the right wage base, plus state Professional Tax slabs and Labour Welfare Fund contributions.
Shops and Establishments
Registration, working hours, weekly offs, leave and night-shift conditions for women, under each state's own Act and rules, for every location.
Factory Compliance
OSH Code limits on daily and weekly hours, overtime with worker consent, annual leave with wages, and the registers and returns every factory must keep.
Contract Labour
Contractor licences and principal-employer duties under the OSH Code, plus proof that every contractor paid wages and remitted PF and ESI on time.
Registrations and Licenses
PF, ESI, Shops and Establishments, factory and contractor registrations tracked through renewals and amendments, with alerts well before anything lapses.
