Hi, I’m Amanpreet
I run XplorExcel from Punjab. I build these files for the way small Indian businesses actually work. If something in the file doesn’t make sense, message me.
Questions
Is it updated for the new Labour Codes?
Yes. If Basic + DA is less than 50% of total pay, XplorePay adds the shortfall back for PF and gratuity and shows you how much was added. The ₹25,000 PF ceiling is applied from September 2026 and ₹15,000 for earlier months, automatically.
My state’s professional tax is different. Can I change it?
Yes. PT slabs sit in the Setup sheet, including separate slabs for women and February where your state has them. Maharashtra is filled in as an example.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. The formula edition opens in the Excel app on Android and iPhone, and the macro edition includes a phone copy too. The fill-in forms and one-click printing work on a Windows computer.
Which Excel do I need?
Excel 2016 or later on Windows or Mac for the formula edition. The macro edition’s forms need Excel on Windows.
The buttons don’t work — what do I do?
Windows blocks macros in downloaded files. Right-click the .xlsm file → Properties → tick “Unblock” → OK. Then open it and click “Enable Content” on the yellow bar.
Will it file my PF and ESI returns?
No. It prepares the PF ECR text and the ESI upload sheet; you upload them on the EPFO and ESIC portals. Check the ECR against EPFO’s current format before uploading.
Is this legal advice?
No — it’s a calculation tool. Some states are still notifying Labour Code rules, so check your settings with your CA or payroll consultant.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears as soon as payment goes through and is also sent to your email. You can download it again anytime — there is no expiry.
