Professional tax and TDS are not fixed amounts on a component — they are looked up in statutory tables every time a cycle calculates. This page is where those tables live.
Settings → Statutory tables. Viewing needs payroll:read; editing needs payroll:write.
These tables belong to your organization. Editing them changes your payroll and nobody else’s, and another organization’s changes never reach yours.
Why you would come here
When a payroll run cannot find a row covering an employee, the review screen flags that line rather than quietly charging zero:
Both flags point here. Add the missing row, recalculate the cycle, and the flag clears.
A flag means no row was found — it is not the same as a row that charges nothing. A band that genuinely covers an employee and prices to ₹0 (Maharashtra’s lowest professional-tax band, for instance) is correct and is not flagged. That distinction is deliberate: on a payslip, a silent ₹0 reads as “no tax was due”.
Professional tax
One row per band, per state. An employee is matched on their state and their monthly gross.
Bands for a state should cover it end to end with no gaps — an employee falling in a gap is flagged as missing.
Bands may not overlap. Two bands covering the same monthly gross would leave the tax charged depending on which one the system found first, so a band that overlaps an existing one for the same state is refused. Widening a band into its neighbour is refused for the same reason.
Income-tax bands
One row per band, per regime and financial year. 2026 means FY 2026–27.
Bands for a regime and year may not overlap — overlapping bands would tax the shared income twice. Bands that meet exactly, one ending where the next begins, are correct and expected: because the upper bound is exclusive, up to ₹4,00,000 and from ₹4,00,000 do not overlap.
The two tables use different conventions on purpose, because the underlying rules do: a professional-tax upper bound is inclusive, an income-tax upper bound is exclusive. The form labels say which is which.
Regime configuration
The settings applied around the income-tax bands, per regime and financial year: standard deduction, the section 87A rebate (the taxable ceiling it applies below, and the most tax it can rebate), and cess.
Bands alone are not enough. A regime and year with income-tax bands but no configuration row here still prices as Missing tax config — the page marks that combination so you can see it before a payroll run does.
Starting point, not a promise
New organizations begin with a set of India defaults covering a few states and the current new-regime structure. They are a starting point for you to check and correct — verify them against current law before your first live run, and extend them for every state you employ people in.
After you edit
Statutory changes affect a cycle only when it is recalculated. If a cycle has already been calculated, recalculate it to pick up the new rows. Every change here is recorded in the audit log under Payroll.
