Features

Maharashtra Professional Tax — Auto-Deducted

Pune employees are subject to Maharashtra Professional Tax of up to ₹2,500 per year — ₹200/month for most months and ₹300 in February. Avani pre-configures the exact Maharashtra PT slab and auto-deducts the correct amount each month based on gross salary, with no manual formula or challan calculation. The PT challan amount is exported for easy remittance to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) / Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) and the Maharashtra state treasury.

Built for Hinjewadi & Kharadi IT Companies

Pune is one of India's biggest IT-services and product hubs — the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjewadi (Phases 1, 2, 3), the EON and World Trade Center campuses in Kharadi, and Magarpatta City. Avani is built for how these companies run: project-based teams, CTC salary structures, hybrid attendance, and KPI-driven appraisals. Run payroll, track projects, and measure team performance from one platform instead of stitching together an HRMS, Jira, and a CRM.

Shift & Factory Attendance for the PCMC Manufacturing Belt

Pune is equally a manufacturing powerhouse — the Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC) belt, Chakan, and Talegaon host automotive giants, auto-component makers, and engineering plants. Factory workers run in multiple shifts with overtime and rotations. 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 and overtime auto-flow into payroll — no month-end Excel reconciliation.

PF & ESIC Compliance for Pune's Workforce

Pune has a dense ESIC dispensary network covering Hinjewadi, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar, and Kharadi. For employees earning ≤ ₹21,000/month gross, Avani auto-computes ESIC contributions (0.75% employee + 3.25% employer), generates the monthly ESIC challan data, and produces contribution statements for the regional office. PF is applied at 12% of basic (employee + employer) with the EPFO ECR file generated for the Pune regional office — submit by the 15th.

One Platform for IT + Manufacturing Dual Operations

Many Pune groups run both an IT/services arm and a manufacturing unit. Avani handles both economies in one system — geo-fenced mobile attendance and project tracking for the Hinjewadi software team, plus shift schedules and biometric attendance for the Chakan or PCMC plant. Department-wise leave policies, branch-level org structures, and consolidated payroll mean leadership sees the whole group while each unit runs the way it needs to.

KPIs, Rankings & Performance Tracking

Pune's IT firms and engineering companies need to measure output, not just attendance. 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 true contribution — making appraisals, increments, and incentive decisions faster and fairer across both office and plant teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Professional Tax rate in Pune?

Pune follows the Maharashtra Professional Tax structure. The deduction is ₹200/month for most months and ₹300 in February, totalling ₹2,500 per financial year, for employees above the income threshold. Lower-income employees are exempt per the Maharashtra slabs. Avani pre-configures these slabs so you never look them up manually or forget the February ₹300 month, and it exports the challan amount for PMC/PCMC and Maharashtra state remittance.

Can Avani handle Pune IT offices and factories?

Yes. Avani supports multi-branch org structures with different attendance models per unit. Your Hinjewadi or Kharadi office team uses mobile GPS attendance and project tracking, while your Chakan or PCMC plant uses shift schedules, rotations, overtime, and biometric CSV import. Each unit gets its own leave policy and department hierarchy, and month-end payroll is consolidated across both — Maharashtra PT, PF, and ESI applied correctly throughout.

Does Avani support shifts and overtime in Pune?

Yes. Avani supports multiple shift configurations — morning, afternoon, and night — with shift rotation and overtime tracking. You can assign and rotate workers across shifts and import biometric device data (CSV) for the plant floor where mobile attendance is not practical. Overtime hours and LOP are calculated automatically from actual versus scheduled attendance and flow straight into payroll, with no manual Excel reconciliation.

Is Avani good for Pune IT-services companies?

Yes. Pune's IT-services and product companies in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Magarpatta often need more than payroll — they need project tracking, KPIs, and a CRM for business development. 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 companies that would otherwise also pay for Jira and a separate CRM.

How quickly can a Pune company go live?

Most Pune businesses are live within a single day. Maharashtra PT slabs, the Pune 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 Hinjewadi office or PCMC plant team and run your first payroll the same week.
