HR & Payroll Software in West Bengal
As a state, West Bengal is eastern India's commercial centre, with large services, jute and engineering workforces. HRZyra brings cloud HR and payroll to companies throughout West Bengal, with the state's own statutory rules applied by default.
From Kolkata to cities like Kolkata, Howrah, Siliguri and Durgapur, HRZyra runs in the browser with a mobile app for employees. For a state of roughly 9.8 crore people, payroll has to handle salaried staff, shift workers and contractors in the same run.
West Bengal 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 West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act are set by West Bengal too, so HRZyra applies them automatically rather than leaving it to your HR team to remember. Support is available in English and Bengali.
West Bengal payroll compliance
PF, ESI and TDS are the same everywhere in India. Everything below is set by West Bengal itself — which is why payroll here is not interchangeable with payroll in the next state.
Professional Tax
West Bengal levies Professional Tax, so PT has to be deducted at the state's own slabs and remitted on the state's own schedule.
West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act
Registration, working hours, leave entitlement and holiday rules follow the West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act, 1963 — state legislation, so the rules differ from the neighbouring state your other office may sit in.
Minimum wages
Minimum wages are notified by West Bengal 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
West Bengal 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.
