Payroll software in Chandigarh
Attendance, leave and statutory-ready payroll for Chandigarh teams — PF, ESI and TDS applied to every payslip, with upload-ready return files.
What is payroll software in Chandigarh?
Payroll software for a Chandigarh business computes each employee's salary from attendance and leave, applies PF, ESI and TDS, and issues payslips employees can download themselves. PeopleDeck does this per employee, per month — and generates upload-ready statutory files instead of leaving you to build them in spreadsheets.
The tricity splits across Chandigarh UT, Mohali (Punjab) and Panchkula (Haryana), each with its own professional-tax treatment.
Statutory treatment for Chandigarh
Chandigarh UT and Panchkula (Haryana) levy no professional tax, while Mohali falls under Punjab's — PeopleDeck applies the correct treatment per work location.
EPF
12% employee + 12% employer on the ₹15,000 ceiling (Code on Social Security 2020, notified 29 May 2026). ECR generated for upload by the 15th.
ESI
0.75% employee + 3.25% employer up to the ₹21,000 wage ceiling, tracked across both contribution periods.
Gratuity & TDS
Gratuity accrues at 15/26 of monthly wages per completed year; monthly TDS is computed per declaration, with Form 16-ready data.
PeopleDeck applies these to every payslip and generates upload-ready files; it never files on your behalf, so nothing reaches a portal without your sign-off.

Payroll in Chandigarh, concretely
The tricity is one labour market with three tax jurisdictions: Chandigarh UT and Panchkula (Haryana) levy no professional tax, while Mohali sits under Punjab's levy. Employers routinely seat teams across all three, an IT firm in the Mohali IT City with client-facing staff in Chandigarh, which makes work location the decisive payroll fact. PeopleDeck applies the right PT treatment per employee's work location automatically, so a tricity employer runs one payroll where the Mohali payslips carry a PT line and the Chandigarh ones don't, correctly and without anyone remembering to check. Government-facing services firms here run contract-renewal staffing: teams sized to tenders, extended when contracts renew. Fixed-term engagements with renewal extensions keep tender staffing legitimate — records that show continuous service where it was continuous, and clean breaks where it wasn't. Clinics, agencies and distributor teams complete the tricity base with the standard lean pattern, jurisdiction-tagged like everyone else.
IT & services pay patterns in Chandigarh
Tricity IT and services firms run hybrid attendance with the region's characteristic mobility: employees shifting between the three cities as offices grow. Location changes are effect-dated record edits: the PT treatment, holiday calendar and reporting follow automatically from the date of the move. Education-adjacent employers here follow the Lucknow split: institute staff payroll on PeopleDeck, student-side operations on the education products: two systems because they are two different rulebooks.
Your first month, realistically
The tricity's first month is a jurisdiction pass: every employee tagged to Chandigarh, Mohali or Panchkula, because that single field decides whether a PT line exists on their payslip. Cross-city moves get effect-dated from day one. Tender-staffed services firms should model their contract teams as fixed-term-with-renewal immediately: the renewal history that keeps service continuity honest starts accumulating now. The parallel run is usually quick; the recurring value shows at the first office move, when a team's shift from Chandigarh to Mohali is a record edit and the next payslip simply grows a PT line, correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Does Chandigarh have professional tax on salaries?
Chandigarh UT and Panchkula (Haryana) levy no professional tax, while Mohali falls under Punjab's — PeopleDeck applies the correct treatment per work location.
How is PeopleDeck priced?
One rate per employee per month, in rupees, covering the whole platform. Headcount is the only variable in the bill; there are no bundles, tiers or per-site charges to decode.
Does PeopleDeck file PF and ESI returns?
No. Every payslip carries the applied contributions and every run produces upload-ready files, but the filing step never happens behind your back; it is yours, with your consultant in the loop.
Can it handle it & services attendance in Chandigarh?
Hybrid and work-from-home attendance flows straight into the payroll run. Punches, shifts and leave land in the same run that computes PF, ESI and TDS.
Why do some tricity payslips show PT and others not?
Because Punjab levies professional tax and Chandigarh UT and Haryana do not: the line follows each employee's work location, applied automatically.
An employee moved from Chandigarh to Mohali mid-month, which is what happens?
The location change is effect-dated; PT treatment applies from the move date and the payslip shows the transition cleanly.
Tender-based staffing renews annually, which is how do records handle it?
Fixed-term records extend on renewal, preserving continuous-service history where genuine; gratuity eligibility and leave accruals follow the true service line.
