Payroll compliance made simple: PF, ESI, PT and TDS

Running payroll means more than paying salaries — it means getting statutory deductions right, every month. Here is a quick guide.

The four you must know

PF (Provident Fund) and ESI (Employees State Insurance) are social security contributions. PT (Professional Tax) is a state levy, and TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is income tax withheld from salaries.

Why automation matters

Each has its own rates, thresholds and filing dates. Doing this by hand invites errors and penalties. Payroll software calculates every deduction automatically and prepares the challans and returns.

Payslips and records

Clear, branded payslips and well-kept records also keep your employees informed and your audits smooth.
