Which offices handle HR compliance for a business in Gujarat?
Part of what follows is set by Gujarat and is not the same in the next state. The rest runs on central law and does not move at all.
Professional tax
Each city's own Municipal Corporation, Municipality or Panchayat, as the Designated Authority under section 2(aa) of the Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976. Gujarat has no single state-wide professional tax office sourceGujarat levies professional tax, but not as a state-department tax. statute
Shops and Establishments
The Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act. ActCovers: Every provision of the Act except section 7 applies to shops and establishments. You have: Sixty days. Section 6(1) requires the registration application in Form-A within.Authority here: The Inspector appointed by the local authority for the area under section 24 of the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019; for areas with no local authority the State Government notifies the enforcing authority source
Labour welfare fund
Yes. The Gujarat Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953 (Bombay Act No.). source
Worth knowing here
Registration fee under rule 4 of the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 2020 is Rs 500 for an establishment or a shop, Rs 1,000 for a restaurant or eating house, Rs 2,500 for a residential hotel and Rs 5,000 for a theatre or other place of public amusement or entertainment, payable by e-payment where online access is available. source
Central, not local
None of the central law moves for Gujarat. Provident fund, employee state insurance, gratuity, bonus and salary tax deduction are set nationally.
Read this as a starting point, not as the last word. Addresses and rates here were right when they were checked and may not be today. Confirm the office and its address with the department itself, and take a professional view from your chartered accountant or labour law adviser before relying on any of it. 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 Spot something out of date?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.
What else does the Maternity Benefit Act require?
An establishment with fifty or more employees has to provide a creche facility and allow the employee four visits a day to it. Where the nature of the work allows, the employer and employee can agree to work from home after the leave ends, on terms they settle between them.
Every employer covered by the Act has to tell each woman in writing, at the time of appointment, what her benefits under the Act are. That is a document requirement, and for a company in Gujarat it belongs in the joining kit.
Yes, if they worked at least thirty days in the accounting year and were otherwise eligible. The bonus is proportionate to the days worked. Forgetting this is a common gap in full and final settlements, because the settlement is usually prepared months before the bonus is declared.
The practical fix is to flag eligible leavers at exit so the amount is paid when the bonus is declared rather than missed.
Who collects professional tax from a Gujarat employer?
Each city's own Municipal Corporation, Municipality or Panchayat, as the Designated Authority under section 2(aa) of the Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976. Gujarat has no single state-wide professional tax office.
Is maternity leave counted as continuous service?
Yes. It counts for gratuity and for leave accrual. Provident fund contributions continue on the maternity benefit paid, and the period is not a break in service.
How HR feels across Gujarat today
Most small and mid sized companies in Gujarat still manage HR with loose files, email and spreadsheets. Offer letters sit in folders, attendance is scattered in registers or WhatsApp messages and salary data is stitched together at the last moment. This works till something goes wrong.
Typical pain points you may recognise
Offer letters and confirmations are not standard across branches and plants.
Attendance from multiple sites and shifts is hard to reconcile for payroll.
New joiner documents are shared on email and are difficult to track later.
Probation, increment and separation letters are delayed or missed.
HR teams spend more time searching for old records than helping employees.
Offrd was built for this reality. ફાઈલ અને એક્સેલથી બહાર આવવા માટે, without buying a very heavy enterprise system.
