Statutory compliance
PF, ESI, PT and TDS — done right, on time.
Statutory rates live in dated tables, so a change like the new EPF wage ceiling applies from the exact date it starts. Registers, challans and due-date reminders sit on one Compliance page.

FAQ
Statutory compliance: common questions
What is the EPF wage ceiling now?
The EPF wage ceiling was raised from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 per month by notification dated 17 September 2026. pagar karo stores this as a dated rate so earlier months stay correct. Always confirm with your CA.
Does pagar karo follow the new Labour Codes wage definition?
Yes. The statutory engine can apply the Code wage definition, where excluded allowances above 50% of total remuneration are added back to wages for PF, ESI and gratuity.
Does it generate the ECR file?
pagar karo produces PF and ESI return data and registers. Upload-file formats are added as they are confirmed — talk to us about your format.
