HR & Payroll Software in Punjab
Employers across Punjab 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 Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar and Mohali and beyond. With a population of about 3.1 crore, Punjab employers range from twenty-person teams to multi-plant operations — the same platform covers both.
Punjab levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule. Minimum wages and the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act are set by Punjab too, so HRZyra applies them automatically rather than leaving it to your HR team to remember. Support is available in English and Punjabi.
Punjab payroll compliance
PF, ESI and TDS are the same everywhere in India. Everything below is set by Punjab itself — which is why payroll here is not interchangeable with payroll in the next state.
Professional Tax
Punjab levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule.
Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act
Registration, working hours, leave entitlement and holiday rules follow the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 — state legislation, so the rules differ from the neighbouring state your other office may sit in.
Minimum wages
Minimum wages are notified by Punjab 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
Punjab 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.
