Never miss a statutory filing again

Track every PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS obligation with a due-date calendar, drive returns from draft to filed, and generate Form 16 and Form 12BA for the completed financial year.

  • Obligation register
  • Returns workflow
  • Form 16 & 12BA
The October 2026 statutory filing calendar with TDS, PF, ESI, professional tax and quarterly TDS return due dates, above a fan of PF ECR, ESI, TDS challan, Form 24Q and Form 16 papers with their filed or due status and portal references. Illustrative sample data.
Checked before it is filed

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, checked along the way

Checks run before compute, after compute, on the ECR and before filing, so a problem shows up while it is still easy to fix.

A sample month of statutory checks ticking through: the readiness checklist, the exception report, the ECR checks and the tie-out, ending with the PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS files ready.

Sample month. Your team reviews each flag and files on the government portals; NeevHR prepares and checks the files.

Key capabilities

What statutory compliance does in NeevHR

Obligation register

Every filing with its due date, amount, statute and status, with late-charge estimates.

Returns workflow

Create, prepare and file 24Q, PF ECR, ESI, PT and LWF returns with real portal references.

Form 16 & 12BA

Generate and distribute Form 16 with quarter-wise deposit reconciliation, and Form 12BA perquisites.

Filing calendar

A month calendar of what is due, filed, pending and overdue.

PF correction of a filed month

Correct PF for a month already filed: arrears, a record of excess refunds, EPS to EPF transfers and bulk recompute, with a second person's approval and a supplementary ECR.

Manual PT and LWF

Record PT and LWF liabilities outside payroll, with period, status, challan tracking and a second person's approval.

Statutory library updates

PT, LWF and minimum wage updates apply only after a person reviews and saves them.

Minimum wage

Tables by state and skill that you keep, with breaches flagged on the run.

Attendance registers

Statutory registers from your records. Form 25 and Form 12 use a common format, not a state-wise one.

State starter pack

When you add a first location in a state, NeevHR offers that state's PT, LWF, minimum wage and Shops and Establishments rows where it holds them, each with its official source and as-of date. HR reviews and accepts. A row with no confirmed source is left empty.

Overtime register

A Nil entry for a period with no overtime, and a quarterly view against the limit you set.

Built on the NeevHR platform

Statutory compliance does not run in a silo

Like every module, it sits on one effective-dated employee record, with India's statutory rules, configuration and governance shared across the platform.

Built for India, only India

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 are part of the core product, not an add-on. INR and the India financial year throughout.

Depth without the drag

Process discipline and statutory accuracy for growing and mid-market companies, without the cost or the multi-year rollout of a tier-one suite.

A guided go-live

Implementation time depends on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.

Configured by your HR admin

Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets assigned to employee groups. A trained HR admin can own them, no certified consultant required.

Statutory compliance: frequently asked questions

Does NeevHR file returns on the portals?

No. NeevHR generates the files and challans; filing and payment are done on the EPFO, ESIC and income tax portals.

Is the Form 24Q file ready to upload?

NeevHR generates the Form 24Q text file in the NSDL FVU format. Validate it with the government file validation utility before filing.
