Monthly salary processing with PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS calculations handled end to end.
Running payroll in India involves more than paying salaries: it means computing TDS on salary, deducting and depositing provident fund and ESI contributions, paying state professional tax, and issuing payslips and Form 16. Each of these has its own monthly deadline and portal. You upload attendance and changes each month in the Fastlegal dashboard, and our payroll team computes salaries, statutory deductions and challans. Fastlegal serves clients in Puducherry and across Puducherry entirely online: you tell us what you need here, upload documents to your secure dashboard, and our team handles the filing — with every update on WhatsApp and email.
One fixed professional fee, inclusive of GST, agreed with you before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprises, and nothing charged until you approve it. PF, ESI, PT and TDS amounts are payable by the employer to the respective authorities.

EPF registration is generally required once an establishment employs 20 or more persons, and ESI applies in notified areas to establishments with 10 or more employees. Voluntary registration is possible below these limits.
Both PF and ESI contributions for a month are due by the 15th of the following month. Late payment attracts interest and damages.
Employees earning wages up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disability) are covered under ESI. Employer and employee contributions are calculated on gross wages.
No. Professional tax is levied only by certain states, such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, at rates set by each state, up to a constitutional maximum of ₹2,500 per person per year.
The labour codes change definitions such as 'wages' that drive PF and gratuity calculations. We follow the rules as notified for your state and update salary structures where needed.
