HR & Payroll Software in Ludhiana, Punjab
Ludhiana, hosiery, bicycles and auto parts, has a workforce that rarely fits a single template — salaried staff, shift workers and contractors on the same payroll. HRZyra handles all three in one run.
Whether your office sits in Focal Point, Model Town and Gill Road or anywhere else across Ludhiana, HRZyra runs entirely in the browser, with a mobile app for attendance and payslips. With roughly 18 lakh people in the city, Ludhiana employers compete for talent — and a late or wrong salary credit is one of the fastest ways to lose it.
With Punjab's statutory rules applied automatically, central PF, ESI and TDS filings generated from the same payroll run, and support for English and Punjabi, HRZyra lets Ludhiana HR teams close payroll in hours instead of days.
Why Ludhiana teams choose HRZyra
Payroll built for Punjab
Punjab levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule.
Attendance that matches how you work
Biometric devices, a geo-fenced mobile app or the web — whichever suits your Ludhiana sites. Shifts, overtime and multi-location rosters are handled without a separate system.
One run, every filing
PF ECR, ESI, PT challans, Form 24Q and Form 16 all generate from the same payroll run, so the numbers on the filing always match the numbers on the payslip.
Employee self-service
Payslips, tax declarations, leave and reimbursements move to the employee's phone — which is what removes most of the queries a Ludhiana HR team fields every month.
Free migration
We move your employee master, salary structures and historical payroll from whatever you use today, at no cost. Most Tier 2 city rollouts go live within a week.
Access control and audit trail
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every salary change, so who changed what is always answerable.
Payroll compliance in Ludhiana
Much of Indian payroll is Punjab law rather than central law. These are the rules that apply to an employer in Ludhiana, and HRZyra applies them by default.
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.
HR & payroll software in Ludhiana — FAQs
Which HR and payroll software is best for companies in Ludhiana?
HRZyra is a strong fit for employers in Ludhiana, Punjab. It covers HR, payroll, attendance, recruitment and performance in one platform, and applies Punjab's statutory rules — Professional Tax treatment, state minimum wages and the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act — by default rather than as a manual configuration step.
Does HRZyra handle Professional Tax for Ludhiana?
Yes. Punjab levies Professional Tax, and HRZyra deducts PT at the state's slabs, generates the challan and tracks the remittance schedule automatically for your Ludhiana employees.
Can HRZyra run payroll for offices in Ludhiana and other states together?
Yes — and this is where most spreadsheets break. A single HRZyra account runs payroll across states, applying each location's own Professional Tax position, minimum wages and Shops & Establishments rules in the same monthly run, with consolidated reporting for finance.
How long does it take to go live in Ludhiana?
Most Ludhiana employers are live within a week. That includes migrating your employee master and salary structures, configuring Punjab statutory settings, and training your HR team in English or Punjabi — there is nothing to install on-site.
Does HRZyra work for shift and contract workers in Ludhiana?
Yes. Shift rosters, overtime rules, multi-site attendance and contractor payments are handled in the same system as salaried staff — which is what Tier 2 city employers in Ludhiana usually need, since one workforce rarely fits one template.
Is the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund deduction supported?
Yes. Punjab operates a Labour Welfare Fund, and HRZyra applies the employer and employee contributions on the state's own cycle so the deduction is not missed at year end.
