HR software for Chennai companies along the OMR IT corridor and Ambattur/Sriperumbudur manufacturing belt. Tamil Nadu Professional Tax, PF/ESI/TDS payroll, shift attendance and CRM. Free to start.
Tamil Nadu levies Professional Tax on a half-yearly basis — up to ₹1,250 per half-year for higher-income employees, assessed by the Greater Chennai Corporation. Unlike the monthly PT of other states, Chennai's PT is deducted and remitted twice a year against income slabs. Avani pre-configures the Tamil Nadu half-yearly slabs, accrues the correct PT each pay cycle, and produces the half-yearly challan figure for the Greater Chennai Corporation — no manual half-year reconciliation needed.
The Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) — the IT Expressway through Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur, and Siruseri SIPCOT — is Chennai's software backbone, alongside Tidel Park and Ambattur's IT estates. Avani is built for these project-driven companies: CTC salary structures, hybrid attendance, project tracking, KPIs, and employee rankings in one platform. Run payroll and manage delivery teams without stitching together a separate HRMS, Jira, and CRM.
Chennai is the "Detroit of India" — Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, and Ambattur host automotive, electronics, and auto-component plants running multiple shifts. Avani supports shift configurations, shift rotation, overtime calculation, and biometric device CSV import for the plant floor, while office staff use mobile GPS attendance. LOP, overtime, and shift differentials auto-flow into payroll — no month-end Excel reconciliation for high-volume factory teams.
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 Chennai regional office. PF is applied at 12% of basic (employee + employer) with the EPFO ECR file generated for the Chennai regional office, and TDS is computed under Section 192 — alongside the correct Tamil Nadu half-yearly PT.
Many Chennai groups run both a software arm and a manufacturing plant. Avani handles both — geo-fenced mobile attendance and project tracking for the OMR software team, plus shift schedules and biometric attendance for the Sriperumbudur or Oragadam plant. Department-wise leave policies, branch-level org structures, and consolidated payroll let leadership see the whole group while each unit runs the way it needs to.
Chennai's IT-services firms and engineering companies need to measure output across office and plant teams. Avani's KPI module lets managers set monthly targets, track task and project completion, log sales-call volume for business-development teams, and auto-generate employee rankings. Tied to attendance and leave data, performance scores reflect genuine contribution — making appraisals, increments, and incentive decisions faster and fairer.
Tamil Nadu levies Professional Tax on a half-yearly basis, not monthly. The Greater Chennai Corporation assesses PT against income slabs, up to a maximum of ₹1,250 per half-year for higher earners. Avani pre-configures the Tamil Nadu half-yearly slabs, accrues the correct PT each pay cycle so there is no lump-sum surprise, and produces the half-yearly challan figure for remittance to the Greater Chennai Corporation.
Yes. Avani supports multi-branch org structures with different attendance models per unit. Your OMR or Tidel Park software team uses mobile GPS attendance and project tracking, while your Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, or Ambattur plant uses shift schedules, rotations, overtime, and biometric CSV import. Each unit gets its own leave policy, and month-end payroll is consolidated — Tamil Nadu PT, PF, and ESI applied correctly across both.
Yes. Avani supports multiple shift configurations — morning, afternoon, and night — with shift rotation and overtime tracking, suited to the automotive and electronics plants in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam. You can assign and rotate workers across shifts and import biometric device data (CSV) for the plant floor. Overtime hours and LOP are calculated automatically from actual versus scheduled attendance and flow directly into payroll.
Yes. IT-services and product companies along the OMR corridor and in Ambattur often need project tracking, KPIs, and a CRM in addition to payroll. Avani combines HRMS, payroll, attendance, projects, KPIs, employee rankings, and a built-in CRM in one platform. This makes it a stronger fit than HR-only tools like Keka or greytHR for Chennai companies that would otherwise also pay for Jira and a separate CRM.
Most Chennai businesses are live within a single day. The Tamil Nadu half-yearly PT slabs, the Chennai ESIC region, and EPFO jurisdiction are pre-configured — setup is adding your address, importing employees, defining shifts and leave policy, and confirming salary structures. Avani is free to start with no implementation fee, so you can onboard your OMR office or Sriperumbudur plant team and run your first payroll the same week.
