Rates stored with effective dates
When the PF wage ceiling went from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 on 17 September 2026, HR Bingo needed one new row in its statutory table and no software update. Payroll for August 2026 still uses ₹15,000, and from the date of the change it uses ₹25,000. ESIC limits, PT slabs and tax slabs work the same way.
Per-employee choices
- PF on the ceiling, on actual wages, or not covered (for example excluded employees)
- ESIC on or off; PT state; LWF on or off
- Old or new tax regime, with declared deductions for the old regime
- UAN, PF member ID, ESIC IP number and PAN kept with the employee

On PF wages, which are basic, DA and retaining allowance. Under the Labour Codes, any part of allowances beyond 50% of total pay is added to this. HR Bingo marks which pay heads count as wages and applies the 50% rule.

Employees with gross wages up to ₹21,000 a month (₹25,000 for persons with disability) are covered. Contribution is 0.75% by the employee and 3.25% by the employer.
Who keeps the statutory rates up to date?
The Huminivex payroll team maintains one central table of rates with effective dates for all companies on HR Bingo.
