FundRaksha HR gives Coimbatore employers GPS check-in on employees' own phones (only inside the office radius, one phone per employee), leave, shift rosters and a payroll that computes PF, ESI, PT and TDS, with payslip PDFs and PF ECR, ESI, bank and Tally files. Tamil Nadu profession tax: half-yearly, by the local body; ₹1,250 a half-year above ₹75,000 half-yearly income in Chennai. Plans cost ₹49, ₹79 or ₹99 per employee per month plus GST, with a 30-day free trial.
Coimbatore's workforce and its HR problems
Pumps and motors, textile machinery and spinning, foundry and castings, wet grinders and appliances, and IT services are the main employers. Foundries and spinning mills run continuous shifts; appliance and pump makers send technicians out for installation and warranty calls.
Most units are Udyam-registered small manufacturers where the owner or an accounts head runs payroll. Profession tax is half-yearly and collected by the city corporation, as elsewhere in Tamil Nadu.
- Foundry shifts with late arrivals that nobody records consistently
- Service technicians claiming bus and lodge bills on paper
- Spinning mills with large ESI-covered workforces
- Half-yearly PT handled separately from monthly payroll
Tamil Nadu payroll rules for a Coimbatore employer
In Tamil Nadu profession tax is levied half-yearly by the local body, not monthly by the state. In Chennai the Greater Chennai Corporation's table from the second half of 2024-25 sets the tax on average half-yearly income: nil up to ₹21,000, ₹180 for ₹21,001 to ₹30,000, ₹425 up to ₹45,000, ₹930 up to ₹60,000, ₹1,025 up to ₹75,000 and ₹1,250 above ₹75,000. Other corporations publish their own rates, so check yours.
| Average half-yearly income (Chennai) | Half-yearly tax |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹21,000 | Nil |
| ₹21,001 to ₹30,000 | ₹180 |
| ₹30,001 to ₹45,000 | ₹425 |
| ₹45,001 to ₹60,000 | ₹930 |
| ₹60,001 to ₹75,000 | ₹1,025 |
| Above ₹75,000 | ₹1,250 |
Shops and establishments. Shops and establishments in Tamil Nadu are covered by the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act, 1947. The Labour Department runs its online services through labour.tn.gov.in. The four Labour Codes have been in force since 21 November 2025; state Shops and Establishments Acts continue alongside them.
ESI covers employees earning up to ₹21,000 a month (employee 0.75%, employer 3.25%); PF is 12% from each side. Check cases with the PF and ESI calculators.
How FundRaksha HR handles it in Coimbatore
- Shift roster, late marks and attendance rules on Pro
- Field staff supported, and reimbursements submitted with bill photos
- PF ECR and ESI files from the same payroll run
- Tally XML and payroll Excel for the accounts team
Admins work from the mobile app or the web console, and PAN, Aadhaar and bank numbers are encrypted and masked.
Worked example: a pump maker with a field service team
A pump manufacturer has 70 people in the factory and 15 service technicians who travel to dealers in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Factory staff check in inside the plant radius on a two-shift roster; technicians are set up as field staff and claim travel with bill photos, approved by the service manager before payroll.
On Pro at ₹79 per employee (₹6,715 a month plus GST), one payroll pays both groups with PF, ESI and reimbursements on the payslip. PT follows the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation's half-yearly rates.
Getting started: a one-week checklist
- Import employees from Excel and invite them with your company code.
- Add each Coimbatore office, plant or site with its GPS radius.
- Set attendance rules, holidays, week-offs and shifts.
- Enter salary structures and confirm the Tamil Nadu PT treatment on a test month.
- Run payroll, check payslips, then download the PF ECR, ESI, bank and Tally files.
