How PeopleOS handles Kerala PT

PT for Kerala is computed automatically based on each employee’s work location. Multi-state employers register once in Kerala and PeopleOS files half-yearly 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 = KL
  • Half-yearly filing: half-yearly returns prepared and ready for portal submission
  • Multi-state aware: employees moving in or out of Kerala mid-year are pro-rated correctly
  • Statutory updates: when the state revises slabs, PeopleOS releases an update within 5 working days
