Frequently asked questions

What payroll compliance features are pre-built in Avani Business OS?

Avani includes: (1) EPF contribution calculations at 12% with EPS pension splits and EPFO ECR text export. (2) ESI contributions at 0.75% and 3.25% with the 21,000 salary eligibility limit. (3) State-specific Professional Tax (PT) calculations. (4) TDS Section 192 projections supporting old and new tax regimes.

How does Avani handle Professional Tax for companies with employees in multiple states?

Avani automatically applies the correct PT slab based on the office location or residential state assigned to each employee. For example, a Mumbai employee is deducted 200, a Bangalore employee is deducted 200, and a Gurgaon employee has zero deduction since Haryana has no Professional Tax.

Does the software generate the file to be uploaded directly on the EPFO portal?

Yes. Avani generates a text file (.txt) formatted with the required delimiters matching the EPFO Unified Portal requirements. You can upload this file directly, check details, and approve the challan without manual data entry.

Is there an extra charge when tax laws change or new compliance limits are set?

No. Since Avani is cloud-based, we push all statutory compliance updates (like changes to budget tax slabs or PF limits) to all accounts automatically. These updates are completely free and included in your subscription.
