Bongaigaon's refinery ecosystem sustains a wide ancillary network of contractors, suppliers, and trade businesses. Managing a workforce that cycles through short-tenure roles creates documentation gaps. Offrd pulls attendance, payroll and HR letters into one place, so contractor-heavy SMEs stay in order and compliant without hiring anyone for HR.
An employee database, onboarding, offer letters, attendance and leave, payroll and payslips, and each letter that follows: probation, confirmation, increment, separation.
Statutory ready: Shops and Establishments in Assam, alongside PF and ESI.
Frequent joins and separations need proper letters and records at every step.
Manual overtime calculations and allowances cause persistent payroll errors.
IDs, contracts, and payslips spread across folders, emails, and WhatsApp.
Two layers apply to an employer in Bongaigaon. The local layer comes from Assam and from Bongaigaon district. The central layer is the same everywhere in India.
Please check this before you act on it. Offices move, jurisdictions get redrawn and rates are revised, often quietly. Ring the department to confirm the address, and get your CA or labour adviser to sign off the compliance position. General information only, not legal or tax advice.

Bongaigaon's profile is notably candid, it states plainly that there is not a single large scale industry or public sector unit left in the district, the refinery the town is best known for moved to the newer Chirang district after a boundary change.
About 120 workers, a small unrecognised cluster making pots and decorative items.
About 150 workers, another small unrecognised cluster in the district.

AIDCConfirm this before you rely on it. The Bongaigaon Refinery, long associated with this town, was administratively transferred to the newly created Chirang district, so it is not described here as a Bongaigaon employer, per the district's own profile. Office addresses and contact details can change on a notification you will not see. Verify the office and its current jurisdiction before you act on it, and take advice from your chartered accountant or labour law adviser. None of this is legal or tax advice. Offrd has no connection to the offices named and does not represent them. Checked 12 September 2026. Spot something out of date? Tell us at service@offrd.co.
A record of days worked, leave taken and days lost for each employee, kept as the month goes on. Under the state Shops and Establishments Act this sits alongside the wage register, and most states now accept it in digital form.
The record serves three purposes at once: the payslip, the contribution returns, and the leave balance that will be encashed when someone leaves. A single source for all three is the point.
The employee serves the notice period without coming to work, stays on the payroll, and remains bound by the contract. Employers in Bongaigaon use it when someone resigning has access to customers or code and the risk of them working out the notice is higher than the cost of paying for it.
It has to be allowed by the contract, and the employee remains an employee throughout, so provident fund, insurance and the rest continue as normal.
The shortfall is payable, and the consequences under the wage law follow. The more common practical cost for a small employer in Assam is the recalculation: provident fund, employee state insurance and bonus all have to be reworked for the affected period, and the corrections have to be filed.
Checking the notification once every six months is a short task that prevents a long one.
It applies to employees in scheduled employments, and the schedules in most states include shops and commercial establishments. Office roles paid well above the notified rate are not a practical concern. Entry level, support and field roles at a company in Bongaigaon can be, particularly once the split between basic pay and allowances is taken into account.
The test runs on wages as defined, not on the headline CTC, which is why a generous CTC can still sit on a wage that falls short.
In Bongaigaon. Filings for a Bongaigaon employer go to offices appointed for that district rather than for the town.
Commissionerate of Taxes, Assam (Finance/Taxation Department) under the Assam Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Taxation Act, 1947. The employer registers as an employer, deducts tax from salaries and files the Form III return prescribed by rule 12 of the Assam Professions, Trades.
Yes. The obligation attaches to the employment, not to the office. A remote team still needs days worked, leave taken and loss of pay recorded, because the payslip and the contribution returns are built from those figures.
Offer, confirmation, increment, separation, and experience in seconds.
Clear, consistent calculations with downloadable payslips.
QR or location check-ins for depots and worksites.

There is an EPFO District Office in Bongaigaon itself, reporting to the Guwahati Regional Office. Employers across the district register here, and the monthly ECR goes in through it. Phone: 03664-231724.
ESI registration for businesses here runs through the Guwahati Regional Office of ESIC. Once 10 eligible employees are on the roll, registration and a monthly remittance become due.
For covered staff, Offrd's payroll applies the ESI rates without being asked: 0.75% of gross wages off the employee and 3.25% of gross wages on the employer.
There is no minimum and no lock-in. Choose whichever plan suits the way you work.
Built for irregular hiring, short-term workers, or a headcount that moves. The bill follows the documents you make and the actions you run, nothing more.
Every feature is in and there is no minimum. A twenty-strong team lands at ₹1,000 monthly, and that figure moves with the headcount.
Yes. Offrd is built for businesses with frequent contractor joins and exits. You can generate bulk offer letters, track attendance at worksites, and process payroll for short-tenure staff without extra HR headcount.
An active employee is charged Rs 50 for the month, so fifteen staff comes to Rs 750. Where work is seasonal or thin, Rs 99 buys a single document or action instead.
The district office is at Main Road, Borpara, Bongaigaon 783380. Write to do.bongaigaon@epfindia.gov.in or call 03664-231724. Above it sits the Guwahati Regional Office.
