Payroll software in Pune
Attendance, leave and statutory-ready payroll for Pune teams — PF, ESI, Maharashtra professional tax and TDS applied to every payslip, with upload-ready return files.
What is payroll software in Pune?
Payroll software for a Pune business computes each employee's salary from attendance and leave, applies PF, ESI, professional tax 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.
Pune's auto and engineering belt runs plant shifts alongside IT parks, a different mix from Mumbai's BFSI.
Statutory treatment for Maharashtra
Maharashtra professional tax is applied to every payslip automatically, alongside PF, ESI and TDS.
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 Pune, concretely
Pune's payroll signature is the plant-and-park split: auto and engineering shifts in Chakan and Pimpri, IT structures in Hinjawadi, often inside the same employer as manufacturing firms build software teams. Maharashtra professional tax applies monthly across both. The operational difference from Mumbai is the wage floor: Pune's engineering belt runs apprentices, trainees and contract operators beside staff, each with distinct statutory treatment. PeopleDeck keeps those populations separate where the law does — apprentice stipends, contractor visibility, staff payroll, while one run and one file set close the month. Pune's IT-side adds German and Japanese client rhythms: client-billed teams whose cost centres and utilisation reports matter as much as payslips. Cost-centre tagging on the employee record makes the billing-side reporting a by-product of payroll rather than a separate spreadsheet. Smaller employers here (clinics, agencies, D2C brands) take the same machinery at ten-person scale, where per-employee pricing keeps the bill proportional to the payroll it runs.
Auto & engineering pay patterns in Pune
Engineering units here pay production incentives against output and attendance against three-shift rosters. Incentives enter as computed or approved inputs per cycle; shift differentials attach to rosters; and the contractor headcount that assembles alongside your own workforce stays tracked for principal-employer records without entering your payroll where it shouldn't. GCCs and R&D centres bring the same dual-audience need as Hyderabad's: local statutory correctness underneath, group-standard reporting on top: one structure set serving both, with the audit trail head office expects.
Your first month, realistically
Pune's first month is usually a three-population import: staff salaries, operator wages, apprentice stipends, each to its own structure with its own statutory behaviour. The parallel run's classic finding here is overtime: rates applied inconsistently across shifts, or OT paid but not flowing into PF wages where it should. Roster-attached differentials and structure-level OT multipliers fix the class of error rather than the instances. If contractors work your lines, register their sites in week one — principal-employer records are far easier to accumulate than to reconstruct, and Pune's audit cycles do ask.

Running a school or college instead?
PeopleDeck is the standalone HRMS for any business, priced per employee. If payroll should live inside your institution's ERP, use SchoolDeck staff payroll for schools or CampusAlly payroll for colleges.

Frequently asked questions
Does Pune have professional tax on salaries?
Maharashtra professional tax is applied to every payslip automatically, alongside PF, ESI and TDS.
How is PeopleDeck priced?
Per employee, per month, in rupees. The bill follows your active headcount and nothing else: no module bundles, no per-branch fees, and the rate is shown transparently at sign-up.
Does PeopleDeck file PF and ESI returns?
No, and that boundary is intentional: the engine computes the contributions and builds portal-ready files, while the actual uploads and payments are acts you or your CA perform and sign off.
Can it handle auto & engineering attendance in Pune?
Web and mobile punches flow straight into the payroll run. Punches, shifts and leave land in the same run that computes PF, ESI and TDS.
Do apprentices and trainees complicate the run?
No — stipend structures carry their own statutory treatment, kept distinct from staff payroll, so NEEM/NAPS-style engagements don't distort PF or ESI computations.
Is Pune PT different from Mumbai's?
Same state, same monthly slab system — Maharashtra PT applies identically; what differs in practice is Pune's wage-and-stipend mix, which the structures absorb.
Can payroll costs map to client projects?
Yes — cost-centre and project tags on employee records flow into salary reporting, so client-wise people costs come from the same run that paid them.
