Bengaluru payroll ranges from a 40-person startup in HSR Layout to a machine-tool maker in Peenya with three shifts. Both deduct Karnataka Professional Tax every month, with a higher amount in February, and both pay Labour Welfare Fund once a year. Fast-growing teams often outgrow the spreadsheet that handled this at 15 people, and the first sign is usually a February payroll that got PT wrong.
Klok is HR and payroll software that builds Karnataka's PT and LWF into the payroll run, with attendance, leave and self-service on mobile.
Karnataka rules for Bangalore payroll
- Professional Tax: employees with a monthly gross of ₹25,000 or more pay ₹200 a month and ₹300 in February, ₹2,500 a year (from 1 April 2025). Below ₹25,000, nil.
- Labour Welfare Fund: annual. Under the January 2025 amendment the employee pays ₹50 and the employer ₹100 per employee for the year, deducted for December and paid by 15 January. The employee-count threshold for applicability was revised in 2025–26, so check whether your establishment is covered.
- Minimum wages: notified by the Karnataka labour department by category and revised by notification.
- PF and ESI: apply in full.
- Shops and establishments: the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act 1961.
What Klok runs for your Bangalore teams
- Attendance: a mobile punch with location, or the biometric device you already own (punches are imported; nothing is replaced). Shifts that cross midnight belong to the shift, not to two calendar dates. See time and attendance.
- Overtime by rule: grace, rounding, minimum blocks and caps set per grade and applied the same way to everyone, with the working visible on the register.
- Leave: balances, approvals and holiday calendars per site, so a Bangalore site keeps its own holidays.
- Payroll: PF with the ECR file, ESI, Karnataka Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, TDS and Form 16 in the same run. See payroll software.
- Minimum-wage check: every payroll run flags anyone paid below the wage you have set for their category, before you approve.
- Registers: muster roll, wage register and overtime register built from the punches as they happen. See reports and registers.
- Self-service: employees see payslips, leave balances and attendance on their phone, so HR is not answering the same questions all month.
Before anyone approves a payroll run, Klok's AI checks it: unusual pay changes, missing attendance and statutory mismatches are flagged for a person to look at. The AI never approves or pays anyone on its own.

Built around how Bangalore works
- Startups and product companies: Whitefield, Electronic City, Outer Ring Road, Manyata Tech Park, Koramangala and HSR Layout teams want self-service, leave and payslips on mobile, and a payroll that does not need a consultant every month.
- Plants: Peenya, Bommasandra, Jigani and the Hosur Road belt run machine-tool, electronics and auto-component plants on shifts, with registers ready for an inspector. See Klok for manufacturing.
- Remote and multi-state teams: employees in other states sit under their own site and statutory settings in the same account. See HR and payroll software in Mumbai for Maharashtra's rules.
What Klok does not do
Klok does not file returns on government portals for you; it prepares the figures, files and registers, and reminds you of due dates. There is no Tally connector: data leaves Klok as CSV or Excel, or through the REST API. And because minimum-wage rates are revised by notification, you set the current rate in Klok when a notification is issued; the payroll check then holds every run to it. Always confirm the latest notification with the state labour department before you file.

The Karnataka checks worth doing
- February: is the ₹300 PT amount applied to everyone at or above ₹25,000?
- Salary crossing ₹25,000 mid-year: after an increment, PT starts from the month the gross crosses the threshold.
- December: is the annual LWF deducted for everyone it applies to, and paid by 15 January?
- Employees outside Karnataka: are they on their own state's rules, not Karnataka's?
Klok's payroll check flags statutory mismatches before anyone approves the run. Rates are revised by notification, so confirm the current figures before filing.
Start with one month
Import your team from Excel, set the Karnataka statutory settings for your entity, and run one month in Klok next to your current payroll. For a startup, setup usually takes an afternoon.

HR and Payroll Software in Bangalore (Bengaluru) FAQs
How much Professional Tax is deducted in Karnataka?
Employees with a monthly gross of ₹25,000 or more pay ₹200 a month and ₹300 in February, ₹2,500 a year, from 1 April 2025. Below ₹25,000 there is no PT. Confirm current slabs with the Karnataka Commercial Taxes Department before filing.
When is Labour Welfare Fund paid in Karnataka?
Once a year. Under the January 2025 amendment the employee contributes ₹50 and the employer ₹100 per employee, deducted for December and paid by 15 January. The applicability threshold was revised in 2025–26, so check whether your establishment is covered.
Does Klok handle the February PT amount?
Yes. The February amount is part of the Karnataka Professional Tax settings, so the February payroll deducts the higher amount for employees at or above the threshold.

No. Klok costs ₹25 per employee per month, setup for a small team usually takes an afternoon, and there is a 7-day free trial. Employees get payslips, leave and attendance on their phone from day one.
