Telangana Tax on Professions Act, 1987, the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Labour Welfare Fund

Professional tax, TDS and Welfare Fund registers under the Telangana Tax on Professions Act, 1987 and the Income Tax Act, 1961

Most of the registers CORGIS produces describe work — who attended, what hours they kept, what leave they took and what they earned for it. This set describes the other direction. It covers the levies that come off a salary before it reaches the employee, and are accounted for to somebody other than the employee.

The three do not share a collector and they do not share a clock. Professional tax is a Telangana levy tied to being in employment, worked out month by month and accounted for to the state — the only item here that turns on where the establishment sits rather than purely on what was paid. Tax deducted at source is central, and settles per employee across a whole financial year rather than per roster per month. The Labour Welfare Fund is a small periodic contribution, rendered at the amounts and the frequency configured for the company rather than on an assumed pattern.

The Form 16 CORGIS produces is computed from the salary actually paid through the product, and is plain about what that means. There is no investment-declaration screen in CORGIS yet, so the certificate is built from gross salary with the standard deduction and the provident fund contribution already recorded against that employee. It reflects what the product holds, not declarations it has never been given — where an employee has declared anything beyond that, the certificate is a starting point to reconcile against rather than a finished statement.

Who keeps this register set

Employers in Telangana that deduct professional tax from salaries, and employers deducting tax at source on salary, keep this set alongside whichever wage register set applies to the premises — Shops & Establishments or Factories. Unlike those, nothing here turns on the kind of establishment or the work done in it; it follows the payroll itself, so the same set is kept whether the wages behind it came from an office roster or a factory muster roll. The Labour Welfare Fund entries follow the contribution the company is configured for.

4 registers CORGIS generates under this Act

  1. Professional TaxProfessional Tax Register

    • Monthly

    Professional tax deducted for the month, listed per employee against the salary the deduction was worked out on. The figure shown is the one applied in that month's payroll run rather than a separately keyed amount, so the register and the payslip carry the same deduction.

  2. PT ChallanPT Challan Export

    • Monthly

    An export file generated from the month's computed professional tax, carrying the employee-wise deductions and the totals they add up to once payroll for the period is settled. It is a file CORGIS writes for you to carry forward — the product generates it, it does not transmit anything to the state.

  3. Form 16Annual Salary TDS Certificate

    • Annual
    • One sheet per employee

    A salary TDS certificate for each employee covering the financial year, produced from the salary data held in CORGIS. There is no separate investment-declaration collection step in the product, so the certificate is computed from gross salary paid with the standard deduction and the provident fund contribution reflected, and shows that basis openly rather than implying declarations it never received.

  4. Welfare FundWelfare Fund Register

    • Monthly

    Labour Welfare Fund contributions, listed per employee at the amounts and the frequency configured for the company. The roster is the same one the wage registers are built from, so the register covers exactly the people who were on payroll for the period and no one carried over from an earlier one.

All four are generated as Excel workbooks for the period you select, and can be downloaded on their own or inside the same ZIP as the wage registers they were derived from — which is usually the more useful way to keep them, since a professional tax figure only makes sense next to the wage it came off. The challan output is an export file written for you to take forward yourself; CORGIS generates registers and returns, and submits nothing to any authority on your behalf.

Generate these for your own establishment

CORGIS produces each of these as an Excel workbook for the period you choose, computed from the attendance and payroll data already held — individually, or bundled as one ZIP organised by Act.
