Tally.erp 9 offers free payroll processing software with its erp series release. However If you are not using tally’s payroll processing, then you might interested how to pass journal entry for payroll processing.
Though tally.erp 9’s payroll processing feature is working excellent and serves a complete payroll processing software for totally free. All you need is to be familiar with the entire system.but even in case you are not familiar with this, then you should understand journal entry for payroll processing.
I have posted some articles about payroll processing in tally for employee creation and attendance creation and creating Payhead
However there are many users who do not use the tally’s automated payroll module also users of earlier version i.e. tally 7.2, 6.3 etc have no access to this facility. So, today, I am writing for them how to process payroll manually and how to pass necessary journal entry with practical example
Suppose total gross salary payable for the month of January 2010 is Rs. 3,00,000
Out of above, basic salary which is eligible for Provident Fund contribution is Rs. 2,00,000
Hence, the Employee Provident Fund contribution will be calculated @12% of basic salary i.e. Rs. 24,000.00
Net salary payable to Employee is Rs. 3,00,000 – Rs.24,000 = Rs. 2,76,000.00
The entry for above transaction will be made accordingly
31.1.2010 Dr. Staff salary Expenses Rs. 3,00,000 (This is the cost which the company has to bear )
Cr. Staff Salary payable Account Rs. 2,76,000.00
Cr. Provident Fund payable account Rs. 24,000.00 (it is your liability to pay to govt.)
Now, make one another entry for employer’s contributions for the above salary
An employer is also required to pay a sum @12% from the basic salary before the same is disbursed to employee. Apart of this, Employer is also require to pay @1.61% (of basic pay )additional amount as per below
@1.10% towards PF administration fees
@0.50% towards Employees Deposit linked insurance scheme
@0.1% towards EDLI administration charges
Dr. Employer PF Contribution Rs.24,000
Dr. PF administration Fees Rs. 2200
Dr. Employee EDLI Rs. 1,000
Cr. PF payable Rs. 27,200
Now total PF payable will be Rs. 24,000+ Rs. 27,200 =Rs, 51,200 which you should pay to PF department through its challan
I will throw more light regarding allocation of this amount to different account and base of calculation so, don’t forget to come back
Meanwhile, Do browse my other site to know more about provident fund and other Indian Commercial laws

Hi,
Entry is almost correct but from your entry we can never calculate the Staff wise deduction of PF.
Bcoz, if u ll pass an entry of on of my debtor-1 has paid to my creditor-1 & Creditor-2 an amount of 500 & 600 respectively.
The entry will be :
Dr.Creditor-1 500/-
Dr.Creditor-2 600/-
Cr.Debtor-1 1100/-
In above entry there is no relation between Creditor-1 & Creditor-2.
As well if we pass the entry of PF
Dr.Staff Salary
Cr.Staff Salary(Payable)
Cr.Provident fund Payable A/c

Good Question Anjana,
All computerized Accounting software including Tally prepares Balance sheet automatically but again a software needs human touch.
First you should understand how a software works? A software is nothing but it requires some input based on that input it will give you output.
So, if you do not feed your input properly you will not a perfect output (here say balance sheet) and that is why people ask you if you know the balance sheet.
So, the balance sheet is a matter of expertise knowledge.
And yes, we do not respond to any personal mail ID

How do I configure my Tally payroll to compute progressive income tax for employees?
Sliba,
At the moment there is no facility to configure Employee TDS in tally.erp 9 in an automated environment. This facility is expected to be effective by launching of Series B of tally.erp 9.
Till that time, you have to put employee TDS manually and for this purpose

Sir, I am Naresh Guttula, and I have been working in a Branch Office at Hyderabad.
This is first time We get the Provident Fund Benifit. Our Head Office has been deducted PF from April 2010 to August 2010 for Rs.2700/-remidtted in my account. My Head Office has advised to treat as Advance and deduct in Six equal instalments apart from current month Provident fund. Please tell me how to pass entries in my branch and as well as Head office.
Naresh,
I am not able to understand what you meant to say ?
Could you specify it with more details ? what is your basic monthly salary and how much pf calculated on the same ? and what does it meant by Rs. 2700 remitted to your account ? Do you meant that your Company had deposited Rs. 2700 in your PF account and advising you to treat that as loans and Advances ? That is horrible !!!! because a company can’t recover past dues of PF from its employees!

Hi,
I have a query regarding handling directos remuneration and PF
Currently we are doing a manual PF challan entry combining PF for Employees and directors in a single challan (The rates of PF applied to directors are different from employees in our company)
Now we want to automate this PF challan creation in tally.
Should i created PF Payable ledger seperately for Directors? In that case the PF challan seems to give me wrong calculations.
Please advice on how to create a single challan
for employees and directors PF payables.
Thanks.
Hello Lalitha,
No need to create different PF or PF payable ledger. you can use one single ledger for all different rates of PF
but I am sorry as I do not provide any support without knowing the user’s Tally.erp 9 Serial number. So if you want me to help you how to prepare the challan than you must mention your Tally serial number to us. It will not be published in public.
Else, post your query in favor of I Vision Info tech from Tally.erp 9 support center and you will get the procedure how to generate one single PF challan

What you are saying about normal salary entry.But in Payroll(In tally ERP 9) If we are passing one JV that -Salaries and Wages -Dr and Salary Payble -Cr,to make the salary due and then how we will pass the Payroll entry in Payroll,means how we will close the salary payable account,because,Payroll will accept only credit side entries,ie either bank or Salary Payable….then how we will close the Salary Payable account in asper double entry principle…Hope u understood
Shiji,
The correct procedure is first credit the Salary to Salary payable Ledger (current liability) and than pass a payment voucher for salary disbursement.
