A business in Varanasi answers to Uttar Pradesh for some of this and to central law for the rest. Varanasi district is the district for the local part.
Verify before you act. Office addresses, jurisdictions and rates change, sometimes without a public notice. Check the office with the department before you visit it, and put the compliance question to your chartered accountant or a labour law adviser. None of this is legal or tax advice.

Varanasi's silk weaving reputation is real and government documented, though the city's biggest cluster by turnover is actually glass beads, not silk, worth knowing before assuming which trade employs the most people.
Rs 102 crore turnover and Rs 75 crore in exports, the district's largest cluster by value.
Split between a Hi-Tech Silk Weaving cluster and a separate Silk Brocades cluster, together about Rs 22 crore turnover.
Saraiyan, Bazardeeha, Baragaon and five other named handloom clusters spread across the district.
Diesel Locomotive Works and BHEL are the two named large public sector employers in the district.
MSME and Udyam registration for the district.

The appointment letter and any revisions, the attendance and wage record, the leave record, contribution proofs, and the exit documents. Retention periods come from the Act that applies, commonly three years for wage and attendance registers and longer in several states.
For a small employer in Uttar Pradesh, the practical rule is to keep the employment file intact for as long as the person could raise a claim, which is longer than the register retention period.
Provident fund moves with basic pay and dearness allowance. Employee state insurance moves with gross wages and may stop entirely if the revision takes the employee past the 21,000 rupee ceiling, though contribution continues to the end of that contribution period. Professional tax may cross a slab. Gratuity provisioning rises.
One revision, four downstream effects. Generating the letter and the payslip from the same stored structure is what keeps them consistent.
A payslip should show the employee name and identifier, the wage period, the days paid and days lost, every earning component listed separately, every deduction listed separately, the gross, and the net paid. Where provident fund and employee state insurance apply, those deductions are named lines with the employer share shown or stated. The Code on Wages requires employers to issue wage slips to employees.
For a company in Varanasi, the practical test is whether an employee can reconstruct their own net pay from the slip without asking anyone. If they cannot, the slip is incomplete.
Take a salary where basic pay is a third of the total and the rest is allowances. Under the new definition, the allowances above half of total remuneration get added back into wages. Provident fund, gratuity and leave encashment then sit on a higher base than the payslip components suggest.
For a company in Uttar Pradesh the useful step is to look at the structure once, at company level, rather than to discover the effect employee by employee at settlement time.
Varanasi is in Varanasi. The district matters because the labour office, and in a few states the professional tax authority, are district level appointments.
Not levied in Uttar Pradesh
Most states now accept digital registers that carry the required particulars. What matters is that the record is maintained contemporaneously and can be produced when asked, not what medium it sits on.
