Circular No. 12/2026

Notice

Questions HR teams ask

01Can it handle multiple states’ professional tax?

Yes. Each employee is mapped to a work location, and PT is calculated on that state’s slab, including months with a different rate such as February in Maharashtra. Reports are split by state so each return can be filed separately.

02Does it connect to biometric machines?

Yes. Devices on your office network can push punch logs to K.D.Uparkar, and older machines can upload their exported log files. Mobile punch-in with geo-fencing covers field and remote staff in the same register.

03Can our CA get reports?

Give your accountant a read-only role. They can download PF, ESI, PT and TDS reports, the payroll register and salary journals without seeing anything they do not need.

04Can employees see their payslips on their phone?

Yes. The employee app shows payslips, leave balance, tax declarations and Form 16, and HR Copilot answers routine questions there and on WhatsApp.

05How do we switch mid-year?

We import your employee master, salary structures, opening leave balances and year-to-date earnings and tax, so TDS for the rest of the year is calculated on full-year figures. Most companies run their first payroll in parallel with the old method for one month.

06Is salary data secure?

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based down to the field level for salary, and every change to a salary or bank detail is logged with who made it and when. The data belongs to your company and can be exported at any time.

Last line of the payslip

Net pay:On time.

Set up your salary structures, import last month's attendance and close one full payroll on K.D.Uparkar before you pay anything. Payslips, bank file and statutory reports included.
