The problem
Payroll looks simple until you add PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS.
Every month the same grind: collect attendance, calculate deductions, double-check the statutory rules, generate payslips, and prepare returns — by hand. One mistake means an unhappy employee or a compliance penalty.
Statutory maths by hand
PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS calculated manually invite costly errors.
Payslip pile-up
Generating and sending payslips one by one eats hours.
Compliance penalties
A missed or wrong filing turns into interest and notices.
Attendance disputes
Salary based on shaky attendance data leads to arguments.
Why existing tools fall short
Why a salary spreadsheet keeps failing you
It can't keep up with statutory rules and wage limits that change.
Attendance, leave and salary live in separate files that fall out of sync.
No proper payslips, loan tracking or gratuity calculation.
Statutory reports still have to be assembled by hand at filing time.
How MGH Books solves it
One run, from attendance to compliant payslips.
Set up employees and salary structures once. MGH Books pulls attendance and leave, calculates PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, handles loans and gratuity, generates payslips, and prepares the statutory reports — so the whole run takes minutes and stays compliant.
- PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS computed correctly, every cycle.
- Payslips generated and shared in one step.
- Statutory reports ready to file — no manual assembly.
What's inside
Everything you need, deeply built
Employee Management
A single record per employee — salary structure, statutory IDs, bank details — that powers every payroll run.
Example. Onboard a new joiner once; their PF and ESI applicability is set for all future months.
Attendance
Capture working days, shifts and overtime so salary is based on real attendance, not guesswork.
Example. A factory's shift attendance flows straight into the salary calculation.
Leave
Track leave balances and apply them to payroll, so loss-of-pay and paid leave are handled correctly.
Example. Two days of unpaid leave automatically reduce the month's salary.
Payroll
Process the full salary run for everyone in one go, with earnings and deductions worked out for you.
Example. Run payroll for 30 staff in a few clicks instead of an evening of spreadsheets.
PF
Provident Fund computed on the right wages with employee and employer shares, ready for the ECR.
Example. PF contributions are calculated and the upload file is prepared for the EPFO portal.
ESI
Employee State Insurance calculated for eligible employees within the wage limit.
Example. Staff under the ESI wage threshold have ESI deducted automatically; others are excluded.
PT
Professional Tax applied per your state's slabs, since PT rules differ across India.
Example. A Gujarat office and a Maharashtra office each get the correct state PT.
LWF
Labour Welfare Fund handled where applicable, on the right cycle.
Example. LWF is deducted in the months your state requires, automatically.
TDS
Tax Deducted at Source on salary estimated across the year and adjusted each month.
Example. An employee's TDS is spread evenly so there's no shock deduction in March.
Payslips
Clear, professional payslips generated for everyone and ready to share.
Example. All payslips are produced together and sent to staff after the run.
Loans
Track staff advances and loans with automatic instalment recovery from salary.
Example. A ₹20,000 advance is recovered in agreed instalments without manual tracking.
Gratuity
Calculate gratuity liability so long-service payouts are accurate and provisioned.
Example. An employee completing five years has their gratuity computed correctly.
Agency Compliance
Run compliant payroll across multiple client establishments — built for HR and staffing agencies.
Example. A staffing agency runs PF and ESI for several client sites from one place.
Reports
Salary registers and statutory reports (PF, ESI, PT, TDS) ready for filing and audits.
Example. Month-end statutory reports are exported in the formats portals expect.
