Payroll & HR software for businesses in Bengaluru and across Karnataka
AiroHR is cloud payroll software built by a Bengaluru team for Karnataka employers. Attendance turns into salaries in one click, with Karnataka Professional Tax, PF, ESI and TDS calculated in every run and payslips delivered on WhatsApp and email.
Karnataka PT, PF and ESI handled in every payroll run
Karnataka payroll has its own details, starting with Professional Tax. AiroHR applies Karnataka PT once your Karnataka PT slab is set up in CTC Setup, so Karnataka employees are deducted correctly without a separate spreadsheet, and the Karnataka Professional Tax guide explains how the slab works.
- Professional Tax calculated on gross pay, including overtime, using the Karnataka slab
- PF and ESI with per-employee applicability and wage ceilings; PF ECR file and ESIC reports each month (PF & ESI software)
- TDS in the salary run and Form 16 generation at year end
- Compliance Command Center to hold or lock a statutory component when you need to
- Attendance, muster roll and salary records in one place for whichever Karnataka Shops & Establishments or Factories rules apply to you
Karnataka Professional Tax slab (salaried employees)
| Monthly salary | PT deducted |
|---|---|
| Below ₹25,000 | Nil |
| ₹25,000 and above | ₹200 per month (₹300 in February) |
| Annual total | ₹2,500 |
Slabs change by government notification. Update your PT slab in AiroHR's CTC Setup when they do, and confirm the rate in force for your filing period.

Payroll software in Karnataka, answered
Does AiroHR calculate Karnataka Professional Tax automatically?
Yes, once your Karnataka PT slab is set up in CTC Setup, AiroHR applies it in every payroll run. Under the current Karnataka slab, employees earning Rs 25,000 or more a month have Rs 200 deducted, with Rs 300 in February (Rs 2,500 a year), and nothing is deducted below Rs 25,000. Slabs can change by government notification, so always confirm the rate in force.
