Why Bhubaneswar employers work with TMS
Bhubaneswar pairs a salaried IT and education base with manufacturing at Mancheswar and an MSME belt around Khordha. Each carries a different HR load, from structured monthly payroll for Infocity teams to shopfloor wages and contract labour at industrial sites. TMS has managed both since 2006, so the obligations that attach to your Odisha workforce are the ones we act on.
One recent change matters here. Odisha abolished Professional Tax with effect from 1 April 2026, so there is no PT to deduct any more, though the state Labour Welfare Fund still applies. We keep your setup current with that change, run PF, ESI and TDS, remit the Labour Welfare Fund on schedule, and give you one accountable team rather than several local vendors.
HR Compliance Landscape in Bhubaneswar and Odisha
Employers in Bhubaneswar meet Odisha state obligations alongside central law. One recent change stands out: Odisha abolished Professional Tax from 1 April 2026, so no PT is deducted, while the state Labour Welfare Fund still applies.
Odisha Compliance Requirements
Employers in Bhubaneswar must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax: Odisha abolished Professional Tax with effect from 1 April 2026, so employers no longer deduct or remit PT for Bhubaneswar staff. Any dues that accrued up to 31 March 2026 remain payable, but there is no ongoing PT obligation.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Under the Odisha Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1996, the contribution is Rs 10 from the employee and Rs 20 from the employer, Rs 30 in total, paid half-yearly in June and December, for establishments with 20 or more employees.
- Shops and Establishments: Commercial establishments register under the Odisha Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1956, which governs working hours, leave and records.
- Minimum Wages: Odisha notifies minimum wage rates by scheduled employment and skill level, revised periodically, so shopfloor and contract pay must track the current notification.
- Contract Labour: Industrial and MSME sites bring registration, licensing and register duties under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, with the principal employer accountable.
- Central laws: PF, ESI, TDS, POSH and the four Labour Codes apply on top of the state obligations and, with Professional Tax abolished, now carry most of the recurring deduction and filing work.
Odisha Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund at a glance
A quick reference for Bhubaneswar employers. Because Odisha abolished Professional Tax from 1 April 2026, the recurring state due is the Labour Welfare Fund, while PF, ESI and TDS make up the central load.
- Professional Tax: Odisha abolished Professional Tax with effect from 1 April 2026, so no PT is deducted from Odisha salaries.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Odisha Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1996, contributions are Rs 10 (employee) and Rs 20 (employer), Rs 30 in total, paid half-yearly in June and December, for establishments with 20 or more employees.
Figures are current as of 2026; statutory rates are revised periodically, so confirm the latest Odisha notification before filing.
