Our team can come set you up in person across Pune, and pricing starts at ₹60 per employee per month. No minimum headcount.

What’s different about running HR in Pune

Pune sits in Maharashtra, which means the statutory baseline is the same as Mumbai. The day-to-day HR workload, though, looks different.

Most companies here run across more than one location. A typical 200-person Pune business has its main office in Hinjewadi (Phase 1, 2, or 3), Kharadi, or Magarpatta, with a manufacturing facility out at Pimpri-Chinchwad, Chakan, or Talegaon, and possibly a smaller team in Baner, Aundh, or Viman Nagar. Each location has its own attendance device, often its own legal entity, sometimes its own pay structure.

The campus shuttle reality is more central here than in any other Indian city. Hinjewadi alone moves several lakh employees a day in and out via company buses. The attendance system needs to handle the case where someone marks attendance at the bus pickup point in Wakad, then the office geofence kicks in 40 minutes later. Most attendance products treat that as a contradiction.

Pune’s workforce also splits cleanly into two cultures. The IT side (Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Magarpatta) wants a Slack-grade interface and a fast mobile app. The auto and manufacturing side (Chakan, Ranjangaon, Talegaon) wants reliable biometric integration and shift-based attendance that handles three rotating shifts cleanly. The HR system has to do both without making either side feel like an afterthought.

EasyHR is built around these realities. The defaults assume Maharashtra SME, configurable per-team for the cultural fit.

Maharashtra compliance, ready out of the box

Set the office location to Maharashtra and the statutory rules switch on. The slabs and rates come pre-configured, including the slab change in February.

Professional tax (Maharashtra, FY 2026-27)

Monthly salary	Men (₹)	Women (₹)
Up to ₹7,500	Nil	Nil
₹7,501 - ₹10,000	175	Nil
₹10,001 - ₹25,000	200 (300 in Feb)	Nil
Above ₹25,000	200 (300 in Feb)	200 (300 in Feb)

EasyHR deducts the right amount each month, handles the gender-based slab difference, and generates Form III-B for the monthly return and the half-yearly Form V. Penalty-interest tracking too (1.25% per month for employees, 2% for employers), so finance gets a warning before a missed remittance becomes a notice.

Shops & Establishments Act 2017 (with the 2025 amendments)

The attendance and leave engine enforces the parts that matter day to day:

• 9-hour daily and 48-hour weekly limits on work
• A 30-minute break required after 5 continuous hours
• A 10.5-hour cap on the total spread of a working day
• Overtime capped at 125 hours per quarter
• 24 consecutive hours of weekly off
• 8 days of casual leave per year (lapses if unused)
• 1 day of earned leave for every 20 days worked, once the employee has crossed 240 days of service

Overtime that’s about to breach the quarterly cap, employees nearing the 10.5-hour daily spread, missed weekly offs all surface as warnings, not as audit findings six months later.

A few other Maharashtra-specific things

Labour Welfare Fund contributions (₹6 employee, ₹18 employer) go out twice a year in June and December. Maternity benefits are tracked at the 26-week entitlement, anchored to the right start date. Pune Municipal Corporation and PCMC public holidays are pre-loaded for each calendar year.

The full statutory feature list is on the payroll software page.

Pune industries we work with

The HR workload looks different across Pune sectors, so the configuration does too.

For IT services and product companies in Hinjewadi (Phase 1, 2, 3), Kharadi (EON IT Park), Magarpatta City, and Baner, the work is around shift-based attendance for 24/7 support teams, project-billing timesheets, multi-location consolidated payroll, and clean audit trails for client billing reconciliation.

Automotive and component manufacturing customers across the Pune-Chakan-Talegaon belt (Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Force Motors, plus the tier-one and tier-two suppliers) need three-shift attendance, plant-floor biometric integration, contractor workforce tracking, and overtime calculation that handles night-shift premiums correctly.

Education and EdTech customers (Symbiosis-affiliated companies, the universities, the EdTech players in Magarpatta and Baner) need contract-staff payroll, semester-based attendance, and academic-calendar-aware leave handling.

BPO and shared-services customers (Hinjewadi BPO belt, Magarpatta) need shift-based attendance, overtime tracking against Maharashtra S&E Act caps, and break-time enforcement that survives audits.

For BFSI back-offices and captive operations in Magarpatta and Kharadi, the configuration covers KYC-grade verification, regulatory training compliance, and asset issue and return tracking. There’s more on the BFSI HR software page.

Startups across Baner-Aundh and the Hinjewadi accelerator ecosystem typically need fast onboarding, simple performance reviews, and pricing that scales as headcount grows. More on the IT and SaaS fit.

What this looks like in practice

Take a 220-employee Pune IT services company (we’ll keep them anonymous). Their main office is in Hinjewadi Phase 2, they have a 40-person delivery team in Magarpatta, and a 30-person 24/7 support team that splits between the Hinjewadi office and home shifts.

Their monthly payroll runs as a single pass. Maharashtra PT, PF, ESI, TDS, LWF all calculate and remit on schedule. The Pune Municipal Corporation and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation holiday calendars apply to the right employees based on office location.

Their attendance handles the campus shuttle reality cleanly. Engineers who board the company shuttle in Wakad at 8am and reach the Hinjewadi office at 9am show up correctly without HR untangling timestamps. Three-shift support staff get attendance with the right shift premium calculated against Maharashtra S&E Act rules.

Their performance review cycle runs twice a year. Goals set at the start of the cycle are tracked through the period, manager and peer reviews captured in EasyHR, and calibration happens with evidence in the system rather than constructed at review time.

Compliance work that used to take three days each cycle (the half-yearly PT returns, the December LWF remittance, S&E Act overtime audits) now runs as a single-click report.

Why teams here pick EasyHR

There’s a Pune team. We do in-person implementation across Pune, including Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Magarpatta, Baner, Aundh, Viman Nagar, and the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt. Most setups finish in 7 to 14 days.

We’re Maharashtra-aware from day one. The PT slabs, S&E Act rules, LWF schedule, and Pune-area public holidays are all pre-configured. You don’t spend the first week of implementation explaining state-specific rules to a customer success rep who’s never run a Maharashtra payroll.

Pricing starts at ₹60 per employee per month, billed in INR with clean GST on invoices. There’s no minimum-employee cliff. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

You can reach us by phone at +91-99302-05985 during business hours, or schedule an in-person demo at your office.

It’s a single product. HR, attendance, payroll, and statutory compliance all sit in one place, not Zoho People plus Zoho Payroll, not greytHR plus a separate compliance tool. One invoice, one admin console, one upgrade path. If you’re comparing, we have writeups on Keka, greytHR, and Zoho People.

What people usually ask

Does EasyHR handle Maharashtra Professional Tax automatically? It does. The slabs are pre-loaded with the male and female differentiation, the February ₹300 catch-up, the half-yearly Form V, and penalty-interest tracking. We update the slabs each fiscal year so you don’t have to.

What does it cost for a Pune SME? ₹60 per employee per month on the Starter tier. There’s no minimum headcount, so a 12-person team pays for 12 people. The pricing page has the tier breakdown.

Can I run payroll for a Hinjewadi office and a Chakan factory together? Yes. Whether they’re separate legal entities or branches under one entity, EasyHR consolidates payroll while keeping per-location reporting clean for audits. Three-shift attendance for the factory and standard office attendance for Hinjewadi run side by side without a problem.

Does it work for office staff and factory floor staff? Both. Biometric integration for the factory floor with three-shift handling, selfie plus GPS plus geofencing for sales and field teams, office geofence for the IT team. One platform, one report.

How long does implementation take? Usually 7 to 14 working days for a 50- to 250-person company. The Pune team can do in-person setup at your office. We also run one parallel payroll cycle before cutover so you can compare outputs against your previous system line by line.

Are you compliant with the 2025 Maharashtra S&E Act amendments? Yes. The 9-hour daily and 48-hour weekly limits, the 10.5-hour spread cap, the 125-hour quarterly overtime ceiling, the 30-minute break rule, and weekly-off enforcement are all in the attendance engine.

Can I migrate from Keka, greytHR, or Zoho People? Yes, we do migrations off all three regularly. Standard scope is employee master, year-to-date payroll history, leave balances, document attachments, org structure, and statutory entity setup. Migration is included in onboarding, no separate fee. Five to ten working days end to end.

Does it handle the Hinjewadi shuttle commute attendance pattern? Yes. Selfie attendance at the shuttle pickup point and office geofence on arrival both register correctly without HR untangling timestamps. We’ve configured this pattern at multiple Hinjewadi customers.
