We introduce pinta, a pipeline for reducing the uGMRT raw pulsar timing data
developed for the Indian Pulsar Timing Array experiment. We provide a detailed
description of the workflow and usage of pinta, as well as its computational
performance and RFI mitigation characteristics. Furthermore, the results of a
calibration experiment carried out to determine the relative time offsets
between different back-end modes and the correct interpretation of the
observatory frequency settings at the uGMRT, which are crucial for performing
precision pulsar timing, are also discussed.
