LIN Certification

LIN Certification for any employer, not just NGOs.

We help any establishment with a workforce — companies, firms, NGOs and trusts alike — obtain and use its Labour Identification Number correctly.

01|OVERVIEW

What is LIN Certification?

A Labour Identification Number (LIN) is a unique establishment identifier used within India's labour-compliance reporting systems, including reporting linked to the e-Shram ecosystem for unorganised and other workers.

While it's commonly discussed alongside NGO and CSR compliance, a LIN is relevant to any employer establishment that needs to register and report under applicable labour-compliance systems — not only non-profits.

Gurur Consultancy helps any business — company, LLP, partnership, trust or society — determine whether it needs to obtain a LIN and complete the registration correctly.

02|KEY BENEFITS

Why this matters for your business

A single establishment identifier used consistently across labour-compliance reporting
Supports accurate reporting linked to the e-Shram ecosystem where applicable
Reduces confusion when multiple labour registrations reference the same establishment
Often expected alongside other labour registrations for compliance audits
03|WHO NEEDS THIS

Applicability varies by business — here’s who this usually applies to.

  • Any employer establishment — company, LLP, partnership, trust, society or NGO — required to register under applicable labour-compliance reporting systems
  • Businesses already holding EPFO/ESIC/Labour License registrations that need a consolidated establishment identifier
  • NGOs and CSR-implementing organisations, in addition to ordinary commercial employers
