HR & Payroll Software in Karnataka
Employers across Karnataka are moving off spreadsheets and disconnected tools. HRZyra gives them one system for onboarding, attendance, payroll, and every filing that follows from it.
HRZyra serves employers in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi, Mangaluru and Belagavi and beyond. With a population of about 6.8 crore, Karnataka employers range from twenty-person teams to multi-plant operations — the same platform covers both.
Because so much of Indian payroll is state law rather than central law, HRZyra treats Karnataka as its own configuration — Professional Tax, minimum wages and the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act all applied by default, with support in English and Kannada. Choose your city below.
Cities we serve in Karnataka
Karnataka payroll compliance
PF, ESI and TDS are the same everywhere in India. Everything below is set by Karnataka itself — which is why payroll here is not interchangeable with payroll in the next state.
Professional Tax
Karnataka levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule.
Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act
Registration, working hours, leave entitlement and holiday rules follow the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961 — state legislation, so the rules differ from the neighbouring state your other office may sit in.
Minimum wages
Minimum wages are notified by Karnataka and revised periodically by scheduled employment and skill category. HRZyra keeps the applicable rate against each grade so a revision does not mean re-checking every employee by hand.
PF & ESI
EPFO and ESIC are central schemes, so contribution rates and return formats are the same nationwide. ECR and ESI returns are generated straight from the month’s payroll run.
Labour Welfare Fund
Karnataka operates a Labour Welfare Fund, with employer and employee contributions due on its own cycle — a deduction that is easy to miss when payroll is run on a spreadsheet.
TDS, Form 24Q & Form 16
Quarterly 24Q filings and annual Form 16 issue are handled centrally, with investment declarations and proof collection built into the employee portal.
HR & payroll software in Karnataka — FAQs
What is the best HR and payroll software in Karnataka?
HRZyra is a leading choice for employers across Karnataka. It unifies HR, payroll, attendance, recruitment and performance, and — unlike generic platforms — applies Karnataka's own statutory rules rather than a national default.
Is Professional Tax applicable in Karnataka?
Karnataka levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule. HRZyra handles this automatically, so payroll for your Karnataka employees is correct without a manual override.
Which Shops and Establishments Act applies in Karnataka?
Employers in Karnataka register under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961. It governs working hours, leave entitlement and holidays, and because it is state legislation the rules differ from neighbouring states — HRZyra applies the Karnataka rules to leave policy and attendance by default.
Does HRZyra work for companies in smaller towns across Karnataka?
Yes. HRZyra is fully cloud-based, so any employer in Karnataka — from Bengaluru to district towns — can run it with a browser and an internet connection. Employees use the mobile app for attendance and payslips.
Is support available in Kannada?
HRZyra works in English, and our team supports employers across Karnataka in English and Kannada through migration, onboarding and day-to-day operation.
