HR Software for SMEs Across India's Metro Cities

Offrd is HR software for small and growing companies in six Indian metros. It puts offer letters, payroll, attendance, and HR records in one place. The product is the same in every city. The local rules around it differ, so each metro has its own page below.

50 free credits on signup. No card, no setup fee.

Choose the metro closest to your team. Each page carries the same toolkit and the local detail that actually matters there, from the areas your staff commute through to the state rules your payroll has to honour. Offrd is used in more than 350 cities, so if your town is not listed, the platform still fits.

Same everywhere

What stays the same in every city

Move your office from Whitefield to HITEC City and the HR work does not change. The same documents have to go out. The same statutory maths has to be right. Offrd handles the quotidian part so you are not rebuilding it each month.

You generate offer, joining, experience, and relieving letters from templates that fill themselves. Payslips compute EPF, ESI, professional tax, and gratuity from the salary structure, so there is no copying last month's sheet and editing the numbers. Attendance runs through QR and GPS check in across every site, using the bundled Atndnz app. Leave routes to one line manager, who gets an email. Policies, including POSH, come out of a short questionnaire in the policy builder. At exit, full and final settlement pulls from the same salary heads as the payslip. Onboarding collects and verifies Aadhaar, PAN, and bank details before day one, so the first payslip is not held up by a missing number. The full set sits on the HR documents page.

The old way
  • Draft each letter in Word from last month's copy
  • Rebuild payslips in Excel every payroll run
  • Chase attendance over WhatsApp and a register
  • Email a consultant for a POSH policy
  • Hunt through folders when an audit lands
With Offrd
  • Fill a template, get a branded PDF in minutes
  • EPF, ESI, and PT calculate from the salary structure
  • QR and GPS check in feeds straight into payroll
  • Answer a questionnaire, get the policy
  • Records sit in one place, exportable as CSV

City by city

What changes from one metro to the next

The provident fund and state insurance rules are national. EPF runs at 12 percent from the employer and 12 percent from the employee, on wages up to 15,000 rupees, set by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation. ESI runs at 3.25 percent from the employer and 0.75 percent from the employee, on gross pay up to 21,000 rupees, under the Employees' State Insurance Corporation. Those numbers read the same whether you hire in Mumbai or Kolkata.

The knotty part is the state layer. Professional tax is set by each state and capped at 2,500 rupees a year by the Constitution. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal all deduct it, so your Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata payslips carry a professional tax line. Delhi NCR is the odd one out. Delhi, and the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh districts around it, do not levy professional tax at all, so a Gurugram or Noida payslip has none. The NCR also sprawls across contiguous districts in three states, which is why that page leans on one dashboard for staff who sit apart.

Shops and Establishments rules are state subjects too. Each state runs its own Act covering working hours, the weekly off, leave, and registration. A Bengaluru office registers under the Karnataka Act; a Mumbai one under the Maharashtra Act. The leave and hour rules differ enough that the policy you publish should match where your people actually sit.

Then there is the work itself. Chennai's industrial belts around Ambattur and GST Road lean on shift and field attendance. Bengaluru and Hyderabad tech corridors run hybrid, so check in has to work from home and office both. Kolkata mixes older Park Street offices with newer ones in New Town. Offrd reads each pattern with the same attendance tool. The difference is which features you lean on. Across all of it, the four Labour Codes took effect on 21 November 2025, tightening the rules on appointment letters and the wage definition behind PF and gratuity, as tracked by the Ministry of Labour and Employment. That applies in every city.

Who it fits

Who Offrd is built for

Offrd fits the company that has one HR person, sometimes shared with admin or accounts, and hires in ones and twos rather than in waves. Headcount of roughly 5 to 75, occasionally up to 150. The mix is broad: manufacturing units, clinics and hospitals, retail chains, IT services shops, agencies, schools. What they share is a dislike of tools that take weeks to set up and then bill for modules they will never switch on.

If you run formal appraisal cycles, OKR reviews, or a deep recruitment funnel, Offrd is not that, and will tell you so plainly. It does the workaday HR well: documents, payroll, attendance, leave, and policies. For a founder who wants an offer letter out this afternoon, that focus is the whole point. The same account scales from your tenth hire to your hundredth without a fresh setup.

Pricing

One price, every metro

Pricing does not change by city. There are two ways to pay. Generate a document when you need one at 99 rupees, with 50 free credits to start and nothing committed month to month. Or move to 50 rupees per active employee per month once HR turns into a weekly job and you want attendance, leave, and payroll running together. Atndnz, the attendance app, is bundled free on the subscription. No setup fee, no minimum team size. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

Common questions

Questions SMEs ask before they pick a city page

Which Indian cities does Offrd cover?

Offrd works anywhere in India. This metro index has dedicated pages for Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai, and the platform is used across 350 plus cities including tier 2 and tier 3 towns.

Is the HR software different in each city?

No. The product is identical everywhere. The city pages differ only in local context, the areas covered and the state rules like professional tax and the Shops and Establishments Act that your payroll and policies have to follow.

Does Offrd handle PF and ESI for metro employees?

Yes. EPF at 12 percent from each side up to 15,000 rupees in wages, and ESI at 3.25 percent employer and 0.75 percent employee up to 21,000 rupees gross, are built into every payslip. These are national rules and apply in every metro.

Do I pay professional tax the same way in every metro?

No. Professional tax is a state levy, capped at 2,500 rupees a year. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal deduct it. Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, which cover Delhi NCR, do not levy it at all.

What does Offrd cost?

99 rupees per document with 50 free credits on signup, or 50 rupees per active employee per month on subscription. There is no setup fee and no minimum team size. Pricing is the same in every city.

Can I track attendance across multiple offices in one city?

Yes. QR and GPS attendance through the bundled Atndnz app works across multiple sites. Managers pull one consolidated report for payroll, whether the offices sit in Thane and Andheri or Gurugram and Noida.
