HRMS Software in Jaipur (2026): Payroll, Attendance and PF/ESI for Jewellers, Exporters, Hotels and IT Firms
What HR and payroll software a Jaipur business needs — for jewellers, exporters, hotels and it firms — the state compliance points, a worked example and what it should cost.
Jaipur's economy is a mix of old and new. Gems and jewellery workshops and exporters, block-printed textiles from Sanganer and Bagru, handicrafts and furniture, a large tourism and hospitality sector, and a growing base of IT, BPO and services companies. Most of these businesses are small or mid-size, and many are family-run.
This guide covers what HR and payroll software a Jaipur business needs, Rajasthan compliance points, the specific challenges of the city's industries, a worked example and what it should cost.
General guidance as of 30 September 2026, not legal advice. Check current rules for your establishment.
The short answer
- Jaipur businesses need attendance, leave, payroll, PF, ESI, TDS and payslips.
- Rajasthan doesn't levy Professional Tax, which makes payroll simpler than in many states.
- Gems, jewellery and handicraft units often combine skilled workers, piece-rate pay and advances.
- Hotels and hospitality need attendance across properties, weekly offs and ESI.
- IT and BPO firms need TDS, declarations and good self-service.
- Budget: roughly ₹600–₹5,000 a month for 10–100 employees.
HR challenges in Jaipur's industries
| Industry | Typical workforce | HR challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Gems and jewellery | Skilled craftsmen, polishers, office and export staff | Piece-rate or incentive pay, advances, security and attendance |
| Block printing and textiles | Printers, dyers, finishing workers | Seasonal export demand, ESI coverage |
| Handicrafts and furniture | Artisans, packers | Variable pay, joiners and leavers |
| Hotels and hospitality | Front office, housekeeping, kitchen | Multiple properties, rotating weekly offs, ESI |
| IT, BPO and services | Engineers, agents | TDS, leave, self-service |
| Education | Teachers, admin | Leave, attendance across branches |
Rajasthan compliance points
| Area | What to know |
|---|---|
| PF | Mandatory at 20+ employees; wage ceiling ₹25,000 from 17 September 2026 |
| ESI | 10+ employees in implemented areas; employees earning up to ₹21,000 |
| Professional Tax | Not levied in Rajasthan |
| Shops and establishments | Registration under Rajasthan's shops and establishments law |
| Wage slips | Required under the labour codes; electronic slips are accepted |
| Overtime | Twice the ordinary rate of wages for eligible workers |
Because there's no Professional Tax, a Jaipur-only business needs PF, ESI and TDS — which most good SME payroll tools cover fully.
What your HR software should do
- Attendance by biometric machine for workshops and offices, and mobile check-in for staff at different properties or sites.
- Leave and weekly offs that can vary by employee (important for hotels).
- Payroll from attendance, with loss of pay and proration.
- Variable earnings for piece-rate and incentives, and advance recovery.
- PF and ESI with ECR and ESIC return files.
- TDS with declarations and Form 16.
- Payslips for every employee.
A worked example: a 40-person jewellery manufacturer and exporter
A Jaipur jewellery business has 28 craftsmen and polishers, 6 in quality and packing, and 6 in the export office. About 25 are covered by ESI; everyone is in PF. Craftsmen get a fixed salary plus a monthly output incentive. Advances are common before festivals.
With software:
- The biometric machine at the workshop records attendance.
- Export office staff apply for leave in the app; the owner approves.
- At month-end, incentives are added as earnings and advances are recovered as deductions.
- Payroll runs with loss of pay, PF and ESI — no Professional Tax to worry about.
- ECR and ESIC files are generated for the CA; challans are tracked.
- Payslips go to every employee.
- TDS is calculated for the export managers, with Form 16 at year-end.

Because Rajasthan has no Professional Tax, PeopleVio covers the statutory payroll a Jaipur-only business needs: PF, ESI and TDS.
Honest limitations:
- No piece-rate engine — add piece-rate totals as an earning.
- No shift rostering or overtime rules, and weekly offs are set company-wide — hotels with rotating offs may need a shift-focused tool.
- English interface and no installable app.
What it costs

| 40 | ₹1,960 | ₹1,640 |
