How PeopleOS handles Karnataka PT

PT for Karnataka is computed automatically based on each employee’s work location. Multi-state employers register once in Karnataka and PeopleOS files monthly returns on schedule. Slab updates ship as software releases — no admin action required.

  • Auto-deduction: applied during every payroll run for employees with work state = KA
  • Monthly filing: monthly e-challan generation and submission to the state department
  • Multi-state aware: employees moving in or out of Karnataka mid-year are pro-rated correctly
  • Statutory updates: when the state revises slabs, PeopleOS releases an update within 5 working days
