Payroll Processing & Salary Structuring in
Chhattisgarh

IMAK Advisory is an ICAI-registered firm of chartered accountants in Whitefield, Bengaluru, providing payroll processing and payroll services for startups, small businesses, companies and LLPs with staff across India. Each month we calculate salaries and deductions, share the payroll register and variance report for approval, prepare payslips and the bank file, and deposit and file PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS by their due dates, with the entries reconciled to your books.

The four labour codes came into force on 21 November 2025, with central rules notified on 8 May 2026 and state rules following. Wages now mean basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance, and allowances above 50% of total pay are added back, so the salary structure decides the base for PF, gratuity and bonus. Monthly wages are due by the 7th of the following month, full and final settlement within two working days of exit, and fixed-term employees earn gratuity after one year.

PF and ESI are governed by the Code on Social Security. PF registration is compulsory at 20 employees and ESI registration at 10 employees in covered areas, with contributions due from the date of coverage. From 17 September 2026, the PF wage ceiling rose from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 a month, so many employers must recalculate contributions and review take-home pay.

Professional tax is a state levy that applies in states such as Karnataka and Maharashtra, and must be registered and paid in every state where staff work. Under the Income-tax Act, 2025, salary TDS is reported quarterly in Form 138, and Form 16 is now Form 130, with employee declarations in Form 124.

Good payroll compliance comes from a fixed monthly cycle: a cut-off date for changes, a variance check before payment, deposits by the 7th and 15th, state dates for professional tax, and a year-end reconciliation of TDS and contributions with the government's records. Exits are planned so that settlements, PF exit dates and Form 130 are ready on time.

For a growing business, outsourced payroll processing keeps salaries confidential within a small named team and brings rule changes into the monthly run as soon as they apply. We can run payroll processing in your existing software or provide ours, give employees payslips and a channel for tax declarations, and keep the registers, returns and records ready for inspections, audits and investor due diligence. Businesses with staff in several states get one calendar covering every state's professional tax and labour welfare fund dates.

You keep control of payments: we prepare files and challans, and your authorised signatory approves them. We do not design structures to avoid PF, ESI or tax unlawfully, and we work with advocates in labour disputes. We do not publish fees; our team shares the exact total after reviewing your requirements.
