Who collects professional tax in Gujarat cities?

Inside municipal limits the municipal corporation collects it. Surat Municipal Corporation has online employer registration and enrolment, and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation publishes the forms and rules. Check the current slab with your corporation.

Does FundRaksha HR export payroll to Tally?

Yes. Payroll outputs include Tally XML, along with PF ECR, ESI, PT, TDS, bank transfer CSV, payroll Excel and payslip PDFs.

How much does FundRaksha HR cost for a Rajkot business?

Standard is ₹49, Pro ₹79 and Enterprise ₹99 per employee per month plus GST. PF, ESI, PT and TDS are on Pro and above; biometric devices are on Enterprise. Every plan has a 30-day free trial with your real team.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The consultation and case assessment are free, with no obligation. If you decide to go ahead, there is still nothing to pay upfront: FundRaksha Legal charges 30% only on the amount actually recovered. Court fees, if a matter goes to court, are borne by the client.

Are there any upfront fees?

No. FundRaksha Legal charges a 30% success fee, only on the amount actually recovered. If nothing is recovered, there is no success fee. Court fees, if any, are borne by you and told to you upfront.

How fast does my case start?

Within 24 hours of receiving your complete documents, a dedicated advocate is assigned and the legal notice is sent as an e-notice, followed by registered post.

Do most cases go to court?

No. About 60% of our cases settle before anything is filed, through the notice, negotiation and a payment plan. The rest go to MSME Samadhaan, a Section 138 complaint, a civil suit or arbitration, handled by the same advocate.

Do you work with businesses anywhere in India?

Yes. Notices, filings and follow-ups are handled digitally, and advocates appear wherever the matter is heard. FundRaksha works with suppliers, manufacturers, traders, distributors and service businesses in every state.

Payroll & Attendance Software in Rajkot

Payroll and attendance software in Rajkot

Rajkot's engineering units make castings, forgings, bearings, diesel engines and machine tools, mostly in small and medium factories of 20 to 150 people. Gold jewellery workshops add skilled workers on fixed hours. Owners here want payroll that matches Tally without retyping.

Short answer

FundRaksha HR gives Rajkot 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. Gujarat profession tax: levied on salaries and collected by the municipal corporation inside city limits. Plans cost ₹49, ₹79 or ₹99 per employee per month plus GST, with a 30-day free trial.

Rajkot's workforce and its HR problems

Engineering and auto components, castings and forgings, machine tools, bearings and diesel engines, and gold jewellery are the city's main employers. Factories in industrial estates such as Aji GIDC run one or two shifts; workshops pay many workers close to the ESI limit.

PT in Rajkot is administered by Rajkot Municipal Corporation, and Gujarat's labour welfare fund applies to establishments that fall under it.

Workers just above or below the ₹21,000 ESI limit after increments
Shift timings that differ between the foundry and the machine shop
Leave balances that nobody can confirm

Gujarat payroll rules for a Rajkot employer

Gujarat levies profession tax on salaries, and inside a municipal corporation's limits the corporation collects it from employers. Surat Municipal Corporation, for example, takes employer registration and enrolment online on its own website, and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation publishes the profession tax forms and rules on ahmedabadcity.gov.in. Take the current salary slab from your corporation before the first payroll run; we have not quoted figures we could not confirm there.

Labour welfare fund. Gujarat has a labour welfare fund under the Bombay Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953, run by the Gujarat Labour Welfare Board. Registration and payment are online at glwbcrm.gujarat.gov.in. It is not among FundRaksha HR's listed files, so diarise it.

Shops and establishments. Shops and offices are covered by the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019. Separately, the Labour Department asks establishments with ten or more workers to register on its Shram Setu portal (shramsetu.gujarat.gov.in) under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. 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 Rajkot

Tally XML, payroll Excel and bank transfer CSV from each run
Payroll with PF, ESI, PT and TDS on Pro
Shift roster and rules per person or per roster
Leave with monthly credit, carry-forward and approvals

Admins work from the mobile app or the web console, and PAN, Aadhaar and bank numbers are encrypted and masked.

Worked example: a casting unit with 40 workers

A foundry has 40 workers: 30 in the foundry on two shifts and 10 in the machine shop on day shift. After April increments, three workers move from ₹20,000 to ₹22,000 gross. ESI does not stop at once: coverage continues to the end of the contribution period.

On Pro at ₹79 per employee (₹3,160 a month plus GST), payroll keeps them on ESI for the period, produces PF ECR, ESI and PT files, and exports Tally XML so the accountant posts salaries without retyping.

Getting started: a one-week checklist

Import employees from Excel and invite them with your company code.
Add each Rajkot office, plant or site with its GPS radius.
Set attendance rules, holidays, week-offs and shifts.
Enter salary structures and confirm the Gujarat PT treatment on a test month.
Run payroll, check payslips, then download the PF ECR, ESI, bank and Tally files.
