HR portal for Punjab companies in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar & Chandigarh. Auto PF/ESI/TDS payroll, GPS attendance, leave & CRM. Punjab = No state-level PT. Free trial — no credit card.
Punjab, including Chandigarh, does not levy Professional Tax on employees or employers. Whether your team is in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, or the Chandigarh tri-city, there is no monthly PT slab to configure or deduct. Central statutory deductions — EPF (12% + 12% on basic), ESI for employees earning up to ₹21,000 gross, and TDS under Section 192 — still apply in full. Avani automatically applies a Punjab payroll profile that skips PT entirely while computing every other deduction accurately.
Ludhiana is India's largest knitwear and hosiery hub, and home to the Punjab bicycle industry cluster. These businesses employ large semi-skilled and skilled workforces — from knitting floor workers to packaging staff — that require accurate shift-based attendance, ESI compliance, and weekly or monthly payroll. Avani handles biometric CSV imports from factory floors, computes PF and ESI for blue-collar workers, and generates ECR and ESIC challan files so Ludhiana manufacturers can focus on production, not compliance paperwork.
Chandigarh and its satellite cities Mohali and Panchkula form a growing IT and services hub with software companies, BPOs, and government contractors. Avani supports web-based and mobile GPS attendance for hybrid work, LWP auto-calculation, and TDS for knowledge workers with complex salary structures. A single Avani account can cover a Chandigarh IT company's corporate office and its Ludhiana or Amritsar branch under one payroll run.
Punjab's agro-processing sector — rice mills, wheat processing, edible oil plants, and sugar mills — runs on rotating shifts and employs large seasonal workforces. Avani supports configurable day, evening, and night shifts, overtime calculation per Factories Act norms (beyond 8 hours/day or 48 hours/week), and attendance reconciliation from biometric devices. Seasonal contract workers are tracked separately with contractor-wise payment summaries.
Many Punjab businesses operate across multiple cities — a head office in Chandigarh, factories in Ludhiana, a trading unit in Amritsar, and field sales in Jalandhar. Avani supports multi-branch org structures with branch-wise GPS attendance, separate leave policies per location, and consolidated payroll runs. Branch managers see only their own team; leadership gets a statewide view and one combined payroll report.
Punjab's trading and export sector — sportswear, bicycle components, agri-commodities — lives on a strong sales pipeline. Avani's built-in CRM lets field sales teams log calls, track buyer leads, and schedule follow-ups, while managers see conversion analytics and sales KPIs on the same platform that runs HR and payroll. Sales incentives calculated in CRM flow directly into the monthly payroll run — no manual variable pay computation.
No. Punjab, including Chandigarh, does not levy Professional Tax. Employees in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Mohali, and Panchkula have no monthly PT deduction. Central statutory deductions still apply — Provident Fund (EPF at 12% employer + 12% employee on basic wages), Employees' State Insurance (ESI for those earning up to ₹21,000 gross), and TDS under Section 192. Avani applies a Punjab payroll profile that automatically skips PT while computing PF, ESI, and TDS accurately, so you are never missing a deduction or adding one that does not exist.
Yes. Ludhiana's knitwear and hosiery industry employs large workforces under ESI coverage. Avani computes ESI (0.75% employee + 3.25% employer on gross wages up to ₹21,000) and EPF contributions, imports attendance from biometric devices on the factory floor, calculates overtime per Factories Act norms, generates the monthly EPFO ECR file and ESIC challan data, and produces compliant salary slips — turning factory statutory filing from a multi-day spreadsheet exercise into a few clicks.
Yes. Avani supports multi-branch organisation structures, so you can run a head office in Chandigarh, a manufacturing unit in Ludhiana, a trading office in Amritsar, and a distribution centre in Jalandhar from a single account. Each location has its own GPS geo-fence for mobile attendance, branch-wise leave policies, and department-level reporting. Branch managers see only their team, while leadership gets a consolidated Punjab-wide view and can run payroll for all locations in one go.
Yes. Avani supports configurable rotating shifts — day, evening, and night — with automatic shift allocation and overtime calculation. For Punjab agro-processing units (rice mills, oil plants, sugar mills) and cycle/bicycle component factories, Avani imports punch data from biometric devices, reconciles it with shift schedules, flags absent workers and overtime hours, and flows the data into payroll. Seasonal contract workers are tracked separately with contractor names, licence numbers, and payment summaries.
Yes. The Chandigarh-Mohali-Panchkula tri-city has a growing IT and services sector. Avani provides web-based and mobile GPS attendance for hybrid teams, LWP auto-calculation, TDS for software professionals across old and new tax regimes, leave management, project KPIs, and a built-in CRM — replacing separate Keka, Zoho, and Jira subscriptions with one platform sized for the Chandigarh IT market.
