Case Study · Healthcare · Zero defaults across 9 states, 18 months running

Multi-state payroll moved to zero statutory defaults

PF, ESIC, professional tax and TDS were handled locally at each unit, producing recurring late remittances and notices. A single tracked workflow replaced nine local processes.

The situation

  • Each unit computed and remitted independently, with no central visibility.
  • Professional tax rates and due dates varied by state and were applied inconsistently.
  • Notices surfaced only when a demand letter reached the head office.

What we did

  • Mapped every applicable registration, rate and due date by state and unit.
  • Centralised computation with a locked payroll input cut-off and a maker-checker review.
  • Built a remittance tracker with challan evidence stored against each obligation.
  • Set an exception dashboard reviewed by the finance controller each cycle.

Measured outcome

  • No statutory default recorded in the eighteen months since go-live.
  • Employee payroll queries fell 63 per cent after the input discipline was fixed.
  • Every remittance now has retrievable challan evidence within one search.

Governance shift

Payroll compliance became one owned, evidenced workflow instead of nine local habits.
