Who Runs HR Calcy
HR Calcy was founded by Vishvass Yadav, an HR and payroll consultant with a PGDM in HR from XLRI Jamshedpur and more than 17 years in Indian HR and payroll. He writes and reviews the calculators and guides and leads the training programmes. The website and its content are owned by Nauvi Solutions.
How We Keep the Numbers Right
- Official sources first. Rates, limits and rules come from the Gazette, the Income Tax Department and CBDT, EPFO, ESIC, the Ministry of Labour and Employment, PIB, and state finance department orders. Guides link to the source they use.
- Dated pages. Calculators and guides show a "Last updated" date. When a rate changes, such as DA, tax slabs or a minimum wage, the affected pages are updated.
- Stated assumptions. Each calculator says what it assumes and what it does not cover, so you can judge whether the result fits your case.
- No guesswork. If a figure cannot be confirmed from a reliable source, we leave it out or say that it is unconfirmed, rather than estimate it.
- Corrections. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the source and correct the page.
What HR Calcy Is Not
- Results are estimates for planning. They are not legal, tax or financial advice; for decisions, check with your employer, a chartered accountant or the relevant authority.
- HR Calcy is not a recruitment agency and never asks job seekers for money for jobs.
- HR Calcy is not affiliated with any government department. Government pay and scheme pages explain official rules but are not official websites.
