Employee Salary: PF, etc.


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies employee salary obligations for a proprietorship business. It confirms that Provident Fund (PF) is generally not applicable for businesses with fewer than 10 employees. However, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) must be deducted for employees earning over a certain threshold (Rs. 5 lakhs annually in this case). Additionally, Professional Tax needs to be deducted and paid monthly to the government, with rates varying based on salary. Obtaining a Shops and Establishment licence is also recommended if not already done.

11 February 2021 hello, in my proprietorship services business I have few employees. Do I need to deduct or do anything like PF, etc. apart from paying salary to them every month?

salaries are like:
employee 1 - rs. 450,000 / year
employee 2 - rs. 120,000 / year
employee 3 - rs. 120,000 / year
employee 4 - rs. 250,000 / year

next month I will be hiring two more people:
employee 5 - rs. 750,000 / year
employee 6 - rs 1,250,000 / year

so I just pay them monthly that's it. what I should be doing? I understand for employee 5 & 6 I will have to deduct TDS but anything else?

am I doing everything correctly? Please suggest. thanks

12 February 2021 any help?? please help here
