The Problem

Like many Manufacturing firms, Apex Manufacturing was processing payroll manually using Excel spreadsheets. Every month, the HR team would spend days computing PF, ESI, PT, and TDS for 84 employees — all while trying to keep track of government circulars and statutory rate changes.

Errors were common: wrong TDS deductions, missed PT slab updates, and ECR files with formatting issues. The team needed a better way.

The Solution

Apex Manufacturing implemented Anti Gravity Payroll in April 2025. The onboarding took less than a day — employee data was imported via Excel, salary structures were configured, and the first payroll run was completed within the same week.

The built-in compliance engine automatically applies the correct PF wage ceiling, ESI thresholds, Karnataka PT slabs, and new regime TDS calculations — without any manual intervention.

The Results

  • Zero manual errors across 12 months
  • Payroll processing time reduced from 3 days to under 30 minutes
  • Automatic Form 16, PF ECR, and ITNS 281 generation
  • Employees access payslips directly via the self-service portal
