STATUTORY & TAX

IN SHORT
What is professional tax?
Professional Tax
State-wise professional tax slabs applied by work location, not by head office.
Statutory & Tax
PF, ESI, professional tax, income tax and the returns each one expects.
THE PROBLEM
What breaks without professional tax
These are the failure modes Indian payroll teams report most often when this is handled on spreadsheets.
One state's slab is applied to the entire workforce.
States that do not levy professional tax still show a deduction.
Half-yearly and annual filing states are handled as monthly.
Employees who relocate keep the previous state's slab.
HOW IT WORKS
Professional Tax inside a BizzField pay run
Where this sits in the five-step cycle, and what it produces.
State-wise slabs
Each state's own slab structure and thresholds maintained separately.
Location-driven
Slab chosen by the employee's work state, not the registered office.
Filing frequency
Monthly, half-yearly or annual treatment per state requirement.
BUILT FOR INDIA
Indian statutory rules, applied automatically
Provident fund, employee state insurance, professional tax and income tax are calculated to current rates and wage ceilings, and follow the employee's actual work location.
PF wage ceiling
Employee and employer provident fund computed on basic wages, respecting the statutory monthly ceiling.
ESI eligibility
Applied to employees under the gross wage limit, with contribution-period rules handled across the cycle.
State-wise PT
Professional tax slabs resolved by work location rather than by registered head office.
TDS & Form 24Q
Projected annual tax spread across remaining months, with quarterly Form 24Q output.
QUESTIONS
Professional Tax, answered
No. Professional tax is a state subject and several states and union territories do not levy it. BizzField applies a deduction only where the employee's work state levies it.
It is deducted from the employee's salary and deposited by the employer with the state authority.
Yes. Each entity keeps its own PF and ESI registration, its own approval chain and its own bank file, while payroll is administered from a single console.
