Which offices handle HR compliance for a business in Raipur?

A business in Raipur answers to Chhattisgarh for some of this and to central law for the rest. Raipur district is the district for the local part.

Who is entitled to a statutory bonus?

The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 applies to establishments with twenty or more employees. An employee who has worked at least thirty days in the accounting year and whose wages do not exceed 21,000 rupees a month is eligible. The minimum is 8.33 percent of wages and the maximum is 20 percent.

Where wages exceed 7,000 rupees a month, the bonus is calculated on 7,000 rupees or the applicable minimum wage for the work, whichever is higher, rather than on actual wages.

What goes wrong with offer letters at small companies?

Three things, over and over. The salary in the offer does not match the salary in the appointment letter. The probation clause says three months in one paragraph and six in another. And the notice period is written for the employee only, which makes it harder to enforce than a clause that binds both sides equally.

None of these show up until someone resigns or an auditor asks. By then the letter is signed. Keeping one approved clause set, and generating every letter from it, is the cheapest fix available to a company of twenty people in Chhattisgarh.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Raipur sit administratively?

Raipur comes under Raipur. That is the unit the labour department works in, so it decides which office you deal with.

Who collects professional tax from a Raipur employer?

Not levied in Chhattisgarh

Is a performance incentive the same as statutory bonus?

No. Statutory bonus is an entitlement under the Payment of Bonus Act for eligible employees. A discretionary incentive sits outside that Act and does not discharge the statutory obligation.

Who this is for

Why do Raipur businesses still manage HR by hand?

Raipur is Chhattisgarh's administrative and commercial centre. Businesses here range from iron trading firms near Siltara Industrial Area to professional offices around Shankar Nagar and VIP Road. The one constant: HR is rarely a dedicated function until headcount crosses 40 or 50.

Until then, offer letters are drafted fresh each time, attendance lives in a register or disconnected spreadsheet, and payslips arrive late. The cumulative drag is real. Offrd closes that gap without requiring you to hire an HR person first, or learn any complex software.

  • Attendance via QR or location check-in for office and field staff
  • Monthly payslips with PF, ESI, and Professional Tax built in
  • Probation tracking with reminders before due dates lapse

  • Employee records: documents, bank details, ID proofs in one place
  • Policy generator for leave and standard HR policies

Why Offrd

How does Offrd fit the way Raipur businesses operate?

Transparent pricing, no lock-in

Start completely free with 50 free credits on signup. When your usage grows, pay Rs 99 per document or Rs 50 per active employee per month for full access. No contracts, no minimum commitment, no per-module pricing.

Indian statutory defaults

PF thresholds, ESI applicability, and Professional Tax are already built into payroll calculations. Standard compliance templates follow Indian HR practice, so there is no manual configuration for routine statutory work.

Works without a dedicated HR team

If the owner or one manager handles all of HR, Offrd is designed for that. The interface is direct, you do not need to know HR software conventions to generate a correct offer letter or accurate payslip.

Multi-location support

Office in Shankar Nagar, warehouse in Siltara, site somewhere else? Attendance and records stay in one system with location tagging and role-based access control across all locations.
