EOBI, PESSI & provident fund compliance
EOBI and PESSI contributions, provident fund, income tax slabs, gratuity accrual and employer tax certificates — computed in payroll and documented for the authorities.
Statutory compliance in Pakistan is spread across EOBI portals, PESSI challans, provident fund registers and FBR tax slabs. Doing it manually every month invites penalties, and proving compliance later means digging through old spreadsheets.
Zaffre HRM computes every statutory amount inside the pay run itself — employee and employer sides — keeps the running balances, and produces the documents: EOBI contribution sheets emailed automatically, tax certificates on demand, gratuity liability on one screen.
Compliance features only help if they live inside the payroll run rather than beside it. In Zaffre HRM, enabling the statutory options on a payroll setup is enough: every subsequent payslip carries the EOBI and PESSI contributions, provident fund shares and slab-based income tax for that employee, and every disbursement updates the corresponding payable balances.
The documentation side is automated with the same seriousness. EOBI contribution sheets go out in the authority’s exact CSV format without anyone assembling them. Tax certificates — the document every employee asks for at filing season — are one download per employee, itemised by month with gross, taxable, tax deducted and net, totalled for the fiscal year.
Because the amounts post to the general ledger as they are computed, the company’s statutory payables are always current: what you owe EOBI, what sits in the provident fund, what income tax has been withheld but not yet deposited. Auditors get a trail instead of a shoebox.
Built-in safeguards against fake attendance
EOBI / PESSI in every slip
Employee and employer contributions are calculated per payslip when statutory options are enabled, and accumulate into payable balances finance can settle and reconcile.
Provident fund both sides
Employer and employee PF shares follow your policy — percentage-based, taxable or exempt — with the fund balance tracked per employee.
EOBI sheet auto-email
The monthly EOBI contribution sheet is generated in the exact required format and emailed to your designated officer automatically after disbursement.
Tax certificates on demand
Download a per-employee certificate of salary paid and tax deducted for any window — defaulting to Pakistan’s July–June fiscal year — ready for return filing.
Gratuity accrual visibility
Enable gratuity on a payroll setup and see the accrued end-of-service liability per employee, computed from service years and latest basic salary.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the software calculate both employer and employee EOBI contributions?
- Yes, both sides are computed on every payslip when the statutory option is enabled, and both accumulate into ledger balances the finance team can settle against challans.
- Can it produce the monthly EOBI contribution sheet?
- Yes — in the exact format required, generated from the disbursed pay run and emailed automatically to the person you designate.
- How does provident fund handling work?
- You define employer and employee shares and whether the deduction is taxable. Each run deducts and accrues accordingly, keeping a per-employee fund position, with withdrawal requests handled through the built-in approval workflow.
- Can employees get a tax deduction certificate for filing?
- HR can download a per-employee certificate for any period — by default the July–June fiscal year — showing monthly gross, taxable salary, tax deducted and totals.
- How is gratuity calculated?
- When enabled, gratuity accrues as a configurable number of days of basic salary per completed year of service (30 by default). The accrual report shows the liability per active employee at any moment.
- Are tax slabs updated for the current fiscal year?
- Tax configurations are maintained per country and fiscal year from verified documents, and payroll re-resolves the applicable slabs for each pay period automatically.
