FinAura runs your monthly payroll: attendance and leave taken in, salaries computed under your structure and the labour codes, PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS deducted, payslips issued and the bank file prepared for you to release.

A common question
Since 21 November 2025, wages are defined the same way across PF, ESI, gratuity and bonus, and allowances above half of total pay count as wages. Salary structures built to keep basic pay low may now cost more in contributions and gratuity.
State rules are still being notified, so the detail differs by state. We apply the rules of each state you employ people in.

Labour codes
Four labour codes replaced 29 central labour laws, including the PF, ESI, gratuity, bonus, minimum wages and contract labour Acts. Central rules were notified in 2026; state rules are still being notified.

Wages mean basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance. Excluded allowances such as HRA and conveyance above half of total pay are added back to wages, which affects PF, ESI, gratuity and bonus.
Official source: labour.gov.inIncome-tax law
Employers deduct tax from salaries each month on the employee's estimated income for the year, deposit it, file quarterly statements and issue an annual certificate (Form 16, or Form 130 from tax year 2026-27).
