Mining-Adjacent Contractors
Timestamped attendance and exportable wage records, ready before the principal employer or auditor asks.
Attendance and wage records that hold up when someone checks. Built for the contractors, manufacturing units, and agri traders of Chhindwara district, and used by 4,000+ companies across 350+ Indian cities.
Chhindwara is a large district with coal mining in the Parasia belt, manufacturing units, and a wide base of agri trade. Around the mining work sits a layer of contractors and service firms, and that layer lives under scrutiny. Principal employers ask for attendance proof. Auditors ask for wage records. Labour officers ask for registers.
A notebook of names and ticks convinces nobody. A record that shows who checked in, where, at what time, and what they were paid for the month is a different conversation. Offrd produces that second kind of record automatically, from the same actions your supervisors already perform every day.
What scrutiny usually asks for:
All four exist in Offrd as a by-product of normal use. None of them requires a separate compliance exercise.
Two layers apply to an employer in Chhindwara. The local layer comes from Madhya Pradesh and from Chhindwara district. The central layer is the same everywhere in India.
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. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Offrd is not affiliated with any office named here and does not act for them. These details were verified on 12 September 2026.

Confirm this before you rely on it. Figures come from the district's profile updated in 2015-16, current to March 2016, and the document explicitly states no cluster has been identified under manufacturing or service sectors. 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 Spot something out of date?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.
Permanent account number, Aadhaar, bank details, the universal account number if the person has worked before, educational and previous employment proof, nominee details for provident fund and gratuity, and the signed appointment letter. Add the previous employer income declaration where the person joins mid year, because the tax deduction for the rest of the year depends on it.
Collecting these on day one takes twenty minutes. Collecting them in June, when Form 16 is being prepared, takes weeks.
The employee serves the notice period without coming to work, stays on the payroll, and remains bound by the contract. Employers in Chhindwara 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.
Chhindwara sits in Chhindwara. Labour offices are appointed district by district, so that is the line that decides who inspects you.
Profession Tax Assessing Authority of the Madhya Pradesh Commercial Tax Department (an officer not below the rank of Assistant Commercial Tax Officer); the whole administration vests in the Commissioner of Commercial Tax.
Because the new employer has to consider it when computing tax deducted at source for the rest of the year. Without the declaration, the deduction is understated and the employee faces a demand when the return is filed.
Manufacturing units here run on shifts, and shift changeover is where paper attendance breaks down. With Atndnz, bundled free with every Offrd account, each worker scans a QR code at the gate. The app stamps the time, GPS confirms the place, and a geofence rejects check-ins from the tea stall across the road. The incoming supervisor knows the shift's strength before the machines start.
Chutti follows the same discipline without the paperwork. A worker applies in the app, one line manager approves, and the month's attendance calendar adjusts itself.
Timestamped attendance and exportable wage records, ready before the principal employer or auditor asks.
Gate QR check-in per shift, geofenced, with wages computed from actual recorded days of mehnat.
Light onboarding for seasonal hires, records that carry over when the same workers return next year.
Attendance data flows straight into payroll, so the wage sheet is not a second job. Payslips show EPF at 12% employee and 12% employer, ESI at 0.75% and 3.25% where applicable, and professional tax by state slab. Gratuity and full and final settlement are covered when workers leave, and your CA gets the whole month as a CSV export.

Records only protect you if they exist before someone asks for them. Setting up takes under 2 minutes: register, add your company details, and print the first QR code for the gate. Add workers as they report over the next week, and by month end you have a full attendance register and a wage sheet that agree with each other. The 50 free credits on signup cover the trial, and the onboarding, letters, and HR policies are there whenever you need them. No consultant visit, no training day, no waiting for an IT person who does not exist in a small unit anyway.
Yes, provided the records were being captured. Once your crews check in through Atndnz, every entry carries a timestamp and GPS location. When an audit or client review asks for attendance and wage records, you export the period as CSV and hand it over the same day.
You print a QR code and put it at the gate. Workers scan it on the way in, the app logs the time and location, and a geofence stops check-ins from outside the unit. The supervisor sees each shift's strength on a phone instead of walking the floor with a register.
Only a light one. Add the worker with basic details and verification, and they can start marking attendance the same day. If they return next season, their record is already there, which makes rehiring faster than the first time.
Yes. A worker requests leave in the app, the assigned line manager gets it, and one tap approves or declines. The attendance calendar updates on its own, so wage calculations already know about the absence.
On the per-employee plan, 25 active workers cost ₹1,250 a month, with the Atndnz attendance app included free. If you only need documents now and then, pay ₹99 per document instead. Either way you begin with 50 free credits on signup.
Offrd handles the calculation and documents. These are the government offices for registration, inspections, and escalations.
