HR & labour compliance for Ahmedabad businesses — on autopilot
Labour compliance for a Ahmedabad employer is a stack: the Code on Wages 2019 basic-pay floor, PF and ESIC, Professional Tax under Gujarat rules, Shops & Establishments registration, leave policy, statutory bonus and clean documentation for inspections.
FastLegal encodes those rules into the payroll itself — the 50% basic floor is enforced in salary structures, statutory deductions compute automatically, HR letters generate from templates, and an append-only audit log records every change. Gujarat levies Professional Tax up to ₹2,400/year — FastLegal applies the municipal slab for Ahmedabad automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Which labour laws apply to my Ahmedabad business?
At minimum: the Code on Wages 2019, EPF Act (20+ employees), ESIC (10+ employees under the wage ceiling), Gujarat Shops & Establishments registration, and Gujarat Professional Tax. Sector-specific rules (Factories Act, contract labour) may also apply.
What is the Code on Wages 50% rule?
Basic pay (plus DA) must be at least 50% of total remuneration. Structures that stuff CTC into allowances to shrink PF are non-compliant — FastLegal auto-bumps basic to the floor at run time.
Do you provide compliance documentation for audits in Ahmedabad?
Every payroll artefact — payslips, registers, PF/ESIC filings, TDS workings and the audit log — is exportable, giving inspectors a clean paper trail.
Is the Professional Tax rule for Gujarat handled?
Gujarat levies Professional Tax up to ₹2,400/year — FastLegal applies the municipal slab for Ahmedabad automatically.
