Frequently asked questions
About Pluto's HR and payroll software.
Does Pluto calculate PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS?
Yes. Every payroll run calculates employee and employer PF (with the wage ceiling and EPS split), ESI, state professional tax, Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund and monthly TDS under the old or new tax regime, using each employee's declarations and the salary already paid this financial year.
Which states' professional tax does Pluto support?
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and West Bengal slabs are built in, including February adjustments and gender-based slabs. You can add or edit slabs for other states in settings.
Can we switch to Pluto in the middle of the financial year?
Yes. Import your employees from a CSV file with the salary, PF, PT and TDS already paid this year and their leave balances, so TDS and Form 16 are correct from your first month on Pluto.
Do employees get their own login?
Yes. Employees see their payslips, apply for leave, submit tax declarations and raise help-desk tickets. Managers approve their team's leave. Former employees can keep downloading their payslips and Form 16.
How is employee data protected?
PAN, Aadhaar, bank account numbers and uploaded documents are encrypted with a key for each company, every company's data is isolated at the database level, and an audit log records every change.
Can Pluto raise GST invoices?
Yes. Raise GST invoices against client purchase orders with CGST and SGST, IGST, SEZ (with IGST or under LUT) or export treatment, record payments and TDS deducted by clients, and see a ledger for each client.
