BecozAI Payroll turns attendance into salary and payslips. PF, ESI, Maharashtra professional tax and TDS can be switched on in the pay run. This page shows one Mumbai salary slip line by line, and says plainly what the software does not do yet.
Payroll in Mumbai has the same core as payroll anywhere: attendance in, salary out. The difference is the list of deductions on top. In Maharashtra that list includes professional tax with a higher amount in February, a Labour Welfare Fund that runs twice a year, and a PF wage ceiling that changed this September. Below is one salary slip so you can see where each line comes from, and a plain list of what the BecozAI pay run does and does not do.
Rahul works at a trading firm in Mumbai. His monthly gross is Rs 32,000. The figures are an example, not a customer record.
| Line | Amount (Rs) | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 18,000 | PF is worked out on this |
| HRA | 9,000 | Allowance |
| Special allowance | 5,000 | Allowance |
| Gross | 32,000 | |
| PF, employee 12% of basic | 2,160 | Basic is below the Rs 25,000 ceiling |
| ESI | 0 | Gross is above the Rs 21,000 ESI limit |
| Professional tax | 200 | Rs 300 in February |
| TDS | 0 | Example only. Your CA decides this |
| Net pay | 29,640 | Rs 29,540 in February |
Now take Priya, who does the same job with a gross of Rs 24,000. Her professional tax is nil, because Maharashtra exempts women earning up to Rs 25,000 a month. A man on Rs 24,000 pays Rs 200. A payroll that uses one PT figure for everyone will be wrong for some of your staff.
These are the monthly slabs on the state's MahaGST rate schedule page. We could not open that page when we wrote this, so we checked the figures against a payroll guide and another one. Please confirm them with your CA.
| Monthly gross | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs 7,500 | Nil | Nil |
| Rs 7,501 to Rs 10,000 | Rs 175 | Nil |
| Rs 10,001 to Rs 25,000 | Rs 200 (Rs 300 in February) | Nil |
| Above Rs 25,000 | Rs 200 (Rs 300 in February) | Rs 200 (Rs 300 in February) |
A notification of 28 February 2026 moved some return dates earlier. The annual return date went from 31 March to 15 March, as the notification text on TaxGuru shows. Whether you file monthly or yearly depends on your tax liability, and the sources we read give different limits. Ask your CA which return applies to you.
Maharashtra's Labour Welfare Fund is Rs 25 from the employee and Rs 75 from the employer, per employee, twice a year, after the 2024 amendment. A commercial guide says it covers establishments with five or more people, that the employee share comes out of June and December wages, and that payment is due before 15 July and 15 January. Treat that guide as secondary and check with your labour consultant. BecozAI does not calculate the Labour Welfare Fund yet. If it applies to you, handle it outside the pay run.
From 17 September 2026 the PF wage ceiling is Rs 25,000, up from Rs 15,000 (SCC Online). EPFO's own illustration: at PF wages of Rs 20,000, the employee share is Rs 2,400 a month, against Rs 1,800 on the old ceiling (EPFO FAQ copy). ESI stays at Rs 21,000, at 0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer (Tally Solutions guide).
Maharashtra revises minimum wages each January and July. The revised rates for July to December 2026 were notified on 5 August 2026 (TeamLease RegTech). Sources disagree on the figures, so we do not print any. Read the notice for your zone.
In your free trial, set up one man and one woman on Rs 24,000, and run February. Then set up one person with a basic between Rs 15,000 and Rs 25,000 and compare the PF line with the EPFO illustration above. If a line does not match, tell us.

Rs 200 a month, and Rs 300 in February, for both men and women, because Rs 30,000 is above the Rs 25,000 limit for women's exemption. That adds up to Rs 2,500 a year. Confirm the slabs with your CA.
No, not yet. This page explains the rule so you know it exists. If you are covered, handle the Rs 25 and Rs 75 amounts outside the pay run for now.
