India Payroll Compliance Hub

Indian payroll compliance is a moving target: PF, ESI, TDS, Professional Tax, LWF, and Form 16 each carry their own rules, portals, and deadlines. These guides break each statute down — who must comply, what to file, when, and the cost of getting it wrong — and show how Texlaculture HRMS automates the heavy lifting end-to-end.

PF & ECR Filing

Provident Fund applicability under the EPF & MP Act 1952, monthly ECR filing on the EPFO portal, and how to stay penalty-free.

ESI Compliance

ESI Act 1948 essentials — coverage thresholds, the ₹21,000 wage ceiling, contribution rates, and monthly challan deadlines.

TDS on Salaries (Form 24Q)

Section 192 of the Income Tax Act 1961 explained: how to compute TDS, file Form 24Q quarterly, and issue Form 16 on time.

Professional Tax (State-wise)
