Provident Fund
12% from the employee and 12% from the employer on PF wages, which many employers cap at ₹15,000 a month.
UAN and the PF wage base sit on the employee record, and contribution reports come from the same figures as the payslip.
PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS and labour welfare fund are worked out from the same record that holds salary, work location and tax regime. Change something once and the next run, payslip and return all reflect it.
Every statutory rule is held per state with the date it took effect, so a new slab or ceiling is added as a rule rather than edited into a spreadsheet.
Try it: change the month and watch which statutory lines apply. Sample figures.
The rule as it stands, and where PayLoom reads it from. Each one links to a guide with the detail.
12% from the employee and 12% from the employer on PF wages, which many employers cap at ₹15,000 a month.
UAN and the PF wage base sit on the employee record, and contribution reports come from the same figures as the payslip.
0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer, for staff earning up to ₹21,000 a month gross.
The threshold is a dated rule, and eligibility is read from gross pay in the run rather than kept on a separate list.
Set by each state in salary slabs. In Maharashtra most salaried staff pay ₹200 a month and ₹300 in February.
Professional tax reads the employee's work location and that state's slab table, including the February step.
Tax deducted each month from projected annual income, under the regime the employee has chosen.
The regime choice sits on the employee record, so the run reads it instead of asking for it.
Small fixed contributions on a state schedule. In Maharashtra they are deducted in June and December.
Twice yearly deductions are pay elements with their own schedule, so they appear in the right month without anyone remembering them.
Gratuity of 15 days' wages per year of service, and final dues paid within two working days of exit under the Code on Wages.
A leaving date on the record starts the settlement, which collects leave, assets and open claims and is approved like any other run.
PayLoom reads each employee's work location from their record and applies that state's rules, so one run can cover several states without a separate sheet for each.
The usual statutory calendar for an employer in India. Due dates move with notifications, so check the current one before you file.
Yes. Each statutory deduction is a pay element with its own wage base, threshold and effective date. The run reads UAN, work location and tax regime from the employee record, and contribution reports and returns are generated at close from the same figures that went on the payslip.
Statutory rules are held per state with effective dates. Professional tax reads each employee's work location and applies that state's slab table, so staff in Pune and Bengaluru can sit in the same run and each get the right deduction.
Yes. The regime is recorded per employee on their record, and the monthly TDS is worked out from it, so a team can have people on both.
Yes. A leaving date starts the settlement: Leave reads the balance to the last day, Assets lists what still has to come back, Expenses lists open claims, and Payroll builds the settlement with each line showing where it came from.
Yes. Pay elements, policies and statutory rules are set per country, and one run can issue payslips in several currencies with the rate stamped on each. Reporting consolidates to your base currency.
