Payroll Under the New Labour Codes in Pune — How it works with CorporateWalla®
India’s four Labour Codes came into force on 21 November 2025. Wages — Basic plus DA plus retaining allowance — must now be at least 50 per cent of total remuneration. Almost every Indian payroll was built the other way round, and almost every employer running one is now non-compliant.
Pune is the second-largest startup ecosystem in India and shares the Maharashtra / Pune bench of NCLT with Mumbai. The IT corridor (Hinjewadi, Magarpatta, Kharadi) is home to 800+ tech companies. Pune property rates are 30-50% lower than Mumbai but the same stamp duty rules apply. Many "company registration Pune" queries come from first-generation entrepreneurs and IT professionals turning founders.

Why choose CorporateWalla® for Labour Code Payroll in Pune?
The 50 per cent wage rule, quantified
Wages must be at least half of total remuneration and any excess allowance is added back into the wage base. We model what that costs you before you commit to a structure.
PF and gratuity, 5 to 15 per cent higher
The rates have not changed. The wage base they apply to has expanded, which is why liabilities rise per employee even where nobody got a raise.
Take-home explained before it lands
On the same CTC, employee take-home usually falls because more of it goes into PF. Explaining that to your team causes less trouble than a payslip that does it for you.
Fixed-term gratuity after one year
Under the Social Security Code, fixed-term employees qualify pro rata after one year rather than five. If you use fixed-term contracts your provisioning changes materially.
The two-day settlement rule
Full and final settlement must complete within two days of exit. Manual F&F processes do not meet it, which makes this the hardest operational item in the whole reform.
Appointment letters, now universal
Mandatory across all industries rather than only in scheduled employments. If your team does not have them, that is a gap with a template-shaped fix.
