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.

Can we show a client that our contract workers were present?

Attendance in FundRaksha HR is recorded by GPS check-in on each worker's own phone inside the radius of the site you set up, and every admin change is logged. You can use that record when you reconcile with a client.

How much does FundRaksha HR cost for a Vadodara 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 Vadodara

Payroll and attendance software in Vadodara

Vadodara's fabricators, electrical contractors and chemical suppliers often work inside a client's plant, from refineries and petrochemical complexes to PSU sites. Their workers need to check in where they actually work, and payroll has to stay clean when crews move between sites.

Short answer

FundRaksha HR gives Vadodara 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.

Vadodara's workforce and its HR problems

Chemicals and petrochemicals, engineering and fabrication, electrical equipment, pharmaceuticals and glass are the main employers. Plants run continuous shifts; fabrication and electrical firms send crews to client sites for weeks at a time.

Profession tax in Vadodara is administered by Vadodara Municipal Corporation, and Gujarat's labour welfare fund applies to covered establishments.

Crews at client plants whose attendance is reported by the site in-charge
Workers moving between three or four sites in a month
Shift plants with rotating QA and maintenance staff
PF and ESI that must be right because clients check contractor compliance

Gujarat payroll rules for a Vadodara 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 Vadodara

Each client site added as a location with its own GPS radius
One phone locked per employee, so attendance is the worker's own
Shift roster and rules on Pro
PF ECR and ESI files and payslip PDFs to support your compliance papers

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

Worked example: an electrical contractor with 55 staff

An electrical contractor has 45 electricians and helpers working at four client sites around Vadodara and 10 staff at its Makarpura office. Each site is a separate location; when a crew moves, the employee's location changes and check-in works only at the new site.

On Pro at ₹79 per employee (₹4,345 a month plus GST), the contractor gets site-wise attendance, PF ECR and ESI files from one payroll, and payslips for every worker. Gujarat LWF is paid separately to the Board.

Getting started: a one-week checklist

Import employees from Excel and invite them with your company code.
Add each Vadodara 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.
