Frequently asked questions
How do the new Labour Codes affect our salary structure?
Under the Code on Wages, allowances above 50% of total pay are added back to wages. That can raise PF, gratuity and leave encashment costs. We review your structure and show the impact before you change anything.
Is Form 16 still issued?
The salary TDS certificate continues, but under the Income-tax Act, 2025 it carries a new form number (Form 130). Employees use it the same way to file their returns.
Do you need access to our bank account?
No. We prepare the bank transfer file; you or your finance team approve and release the payment.
