What month end looks like in Indore
Pithampur runs on shifts, Vijay Nagar on laptops
A company with a plant at Pithampur and an office at Vijay Nagar or the Super Corridor has biometric gates, contract labour and three shifts on one side and a hybrid five-day team on the other, reconciled by one HR executive each month.
MP professional tax in slabs
Madhya Pradesh’s professional tax changes with the salary band and the top slab is adjusted in one month so the year adds up; done in Excel it is wrong for someone every month, and the return is corrected after the fact.
Pharma documentation, people edition
Pharma units keep training records, qualification certificates and job descriptions for every operator because the auditor asks for them; they live in binders that are updated the week before an inspection, not when the person changes role.
With Kuzhu
How the modules answer it
Every module reads the same employee record, so nothing below is an integration; it is one system seen from four sides.
Madhya Pradesh slabs, correctly, every month
Professional tax by salary band with the annual adjustment month handled, the Shram Kalyan Nidhi contribution in June and December, PF with the EPS split and ESI within ₹21,000, computed per employee inside every run without a manual exception list.
Payroll module
Plant rosters with contract labour
Three-shift rotations for Pithampur, overtime at the configured rate, contract workers on the same muster with their contractor’s name, and a five-day pattern for the office, each judged by its own device and its own rule.
Shifts & Rosters module
Training and qualification records per person
Certificates, training completions and role histories stored against each employee with expiry reminders, so the training matrix an auditor asks for at a pharma unit comes out as a report from the system, not a binder from the cupboard.
Documents module
Appraisals for the IT floor
Goal setting, review cycles, calibration and increment letters for IT and BPO teams at Crystal IT Park, with the revision flowing into payroll so the letter and the payslip say the same figure in the same month.

What is different about payroll in Madhya Pradesh
PF, ESI and TDS are the same everywhere in India. These are the parts that follow the state, configured per branch so a company with people in two states runs both correctly.
Professional tax
Madhya Pradesh levies professional tax in monthly salary bands, with the top band adjusted in one month so the year totals a fixed sum; the employer registers, deducts monthly and files returns with the commercial tax department. The slab table on this page carries the figures.
Labour welfare fund
The Madhya Pradesh Shram Kalyan Nidhi contribution is deducted from salary in June and December with the employer adding a larger share, and is deposited with the Labour Welfare Board; it covers employees of factories and establishments under the Act.
Shops & Establishments
Offices, shops, hospitals and IT companies register under the Madhya Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act, 1958 through the labour department’s online portal; manufacturing units at Pithampur and on Sanwer Road are covered by the Factories Act instead.
Holidays
The Madhya Pradesh government list is the default calendar; Indore adds its own local holidays for Rangpanchami and Anant Chaturdashi per branch, and plants that run through them give compensatory offs.

Asked first
Questions Indore companies ask on the first call
How is professional tax calculated in Madhya Pradesh?
Madhya Pradesh levies professional tax in bands of monthly salary, with nothing below the first threshold and a higher amount at each band; the top band is adjusted in one month so the year totals a fixed annual amount. The table on this page shows the current slabs. Kuzhu applies the band per employee and handles the adjustment month.
Do you visit Indore for implementation?
The team is in Udaipur, and Indore implementations run over video: data import, policy configuration, training and one parallel payroll reconciled to the rupee, in two to four weeks. On-site visits are arranged only for larger rollouts in Rajasthan and Gujarat, so your first month runs by call and WhatsApp with the same team throughout.
Can the Pithampur plant and the Indore office be on one system?
Yes. Each branch has its own attendance policy, shift pattern, holiday list and approvers; the plant’s biometric device and the office’s web or mobile punches land on one muster. Payroll runs once for the company, and reports are cut by branch, so the plant and the office stop keeping separate registers.
Does the labour welfare fund apply to us?
Madhya Pradesh’s Shram Kalyan Nidhi applies to establishments covered by the Act; the contribution is deducted twice a year and the employer adds its own larger share before depositing it with the board. Kuzhu deducts it in the June and December runs for covered employees and shows it on the payslip.
