How Professional Tax & LWF are computed
Understand the state-wise, gender-aware PT slabs and Labour Welfare Fund cycles PayCraft applies.
Professional Tax and LWF are state subjects, so PayCraft resolves them from each employee's work location.
Professional Tax (PT)
- Slabs are state-specific and, in some states, gender-aware.
- The annual ₹2,500 cap is respected, including the higher February top-up month several states use.
- The right slab is picked from the employee's assigned location automatically.
Labour Welfare Fund (LWF)
- Contribution amounts and the deduction cycle (monthly / half-yearly / annual) vary by state and are applied on the correct period.
Tip: If an employee transfers states mid-year, assign the new location and PayCraft applies the destination state's PT/LWF from that point forward.
