Payroll software in Surat
Attendance, leave and statutory-ready payroll for Surat teams — PF, ESI, Gujarat professional tax and TDS applied to every payslip, with upload-ready return files.
What is payroll software in Surat?
Payroll software for a Surat 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.
Surat's diamond and textile units pay piece-rate and wage workers, a different problem from Ahmedabad's mills.
Statutory treatment for Gujarat
Gujarat 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 Surat, concretely
Surat's diamond and textile economy pays in units the rest of the country rarely sees: piece-rates per polished stone or stitched lot, batch incentives, and wage floors that surge with export cycles. Gujarat professional tax applies monthly across it. The payroll challenge is honest capture — pieces counted, batches recorded, wages computed on actuals, and then statutory arithmetic on top: PF and ESI on true piece earnings, not on a convenient flat figure. PeopleDeck computes exactly that, worker by worker, and the ECR that results reflects what was actually earned and paid. Export documentation discipline spills into payroll: buyers' social-compliance audits ask for wage records, working-hour evidence and statutory proof per worker. The same records that run payday answer SMETA-style questionnaires, generated evidence, not reconstructed paperwork. The city's logistics and services layer rounds out the base on standard structures: one run covering floors, offices and fleets alike.
Diamond units pay patterns in Surat
Diamond units run master-and-karigar structures where skilled piece-rates dwarf base wages; textile units run lot-based stitching with helper wages beside. Both resolve to piece-and-wage structures with statutory treatment on actual earnings: the arithmetic done right at the scale of a Surat floor. Beyond the floors, Surat's trading offices run commission-heavy staff payroll with the same discipline: approved inputs, projected TDS, clean splits on the payslip — arithmetic over argument, everywhere.
Your first month, realistically
Surat's first month is piece-capture discipline: counts entering per karigar, batch incentives recorded, wages computing on actuals — reconciled against the unit's existing tally for one full cycle. Only then does statutory arithmetic mean anything: PF and ESI on true piece earnings, member-wise files that reflect the floor. Export units should switch buyer-audit evidence to system exports in the same month (wage records, hours, contributions per worker) because the SMETA questionnaire that eventually arrives is answered by the same records that ran payday. Gujarat PT applies monthly throughout, one line, automatic. The second month extends capture to the remaining floors and switches the buyer-audit pack fully to system exports: the point where the unit's compliance evidence writes itself as a by-product of paying people correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Does Surat have professional tax on salaries?
Gujarat professional tax is applied to every payslip automatically, alongside PF, ESI and TDS.
How is PeopleDeck priced?
A single per-employee monthly rate in rupees, with the full platform included. Joiners add to the bill when they join; settled leavers stop counting when they leave.
Does PeopleDeck file PF and ESI returns?
It prepares, you file. Contributions are applied at current rates and the ECR and return files generate from each approved run, but filing authority remains with the establishment and its consultant.
Can it handle diamond units attendance in Surat?
Factory shifts, wage attendance and overtime flow straight into the payroll run. Punches, shifts and leave land in the same run that computes PF, ESI and TDS.
Do piece-rate karigars get PF?
Where the employment relationship brings them under the Act, yes: PF and ESI compute on actual piece earnings, and the member-wise files carry true figures.
Can batch and lot incentives be captured?
Yes — piece and batch counts enter as pay inputs per worker, compute into payslips, and the season's surges flow through the same run as any month.
Buyer audits ask for wage and hour evidence; can we produce it?
Yes: wage computations, hours from capture and statutory contributions export per worker and period, which is what social-compliance audits actually request.
