Features

Gujarat Professional Tax — Auto-Deducted

Ahmedabad employees are subject to Gujarat Professional Tax — ₹200/month for staff earning above ₹12,000/month, with nil PT below that threshold. Avani pre-configures the exact Gujarat PT slabs and auto-deducts the correct amount each month based on gross salary, with no manual lookup. The PT challan amount is exported for easy remittance to the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and Gujarat state authorities, keeping your textile, pharma, or chemical unit compliant without spreadsheets.

Built for Textile, Chemical & Pharma Manufacturing

Ahmedabad is a manufacturing heartland — textile mills, the chemical and dyestuff clusters of Naroda, Vatva, and Odhav, and a strong pharma base. These plants run multiple shifts with overtime and large worker headcounts. Avani supports shift configurations, shift rotation, overtime calculation, and biometric device CSV import for the factory floor, while office staff use mobile GPS attendance. LOP and overtime auto-flow into payroll — no month-end Excel reconciliation.

GIFT City & Modern Services Support

GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City) is bringing banking, fintech, IT, and global services to the Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar region. For these office-based teams, Avani offers CTC salary structures, hybrid GPS attendance, project tracking, KPIs, and a built-in CRM. Whether you run a GIFT City fintech or a services firm on SG Highway, payroll, performance, and pipeline live in one platform instead of three separate subscriptions.

PF, ESI & TDS Compliance for Ahmedabad Establishments

For employees earning ≤ ₹21,000/month gross, Avani auto-computes ESIC contributions (0.75% employee + 3.25% employer), generates the monthly challan data, and produces contribution statements for the Ahmedabad regional office. PF is applied at 12% of basic (employee + employer) with the EPFO ECR file generated for the Ahmedabad regional office, and TDS is computed under Section 192 — alongside the correct Gujarat PT.

Affordable HR for Gujarat's SME Manufacturing Hub

Ahmedabad and the wider Gujarat belt are dominated by small and medium manufacturers who cannot justify expensive enterprise HR suites. Avani is free to start and replaces Keka, Zoho, and Jira with one platform — HRMS, payroll, attendance, leave, CRM, projects, and a finance tracker. For an SME running a textile or chemical unit, that means full statutory compliance and modern HR without consultants or heavy implementation cost.

Sanand Auto Belt — Shift & Plant Workforce

The Sanand industrial belt near Ahmedabad has become a major automobile manufacturing hub, hosting large OEM and ancillary plants. These facilities run rotating shifts across thousands of workers. Avani handles multi-shift rosters, week-offs, overtime, and biometric attendance import for the plant floor, with consolidated payroll and department-wise leave policies — so a Sanand plant's HR and payroll run from the same system as the corporate office in Ahmedabad.
