accompanying payment) over to SSC.

and every employee employed by him or her within thirty (30) days after commencement of their employment.

form of Form 10, or any other document which substantially contain the information required from that form This form must be submitted
within 30 days, after the end of every month together with the payments. Failure to comply with these provisions is an offence and is
