Save Hours Every Month, Pay People Right

Built-in Compliance for India’s Changing Rules

Auto-updates for PF, ESI, and Professional Tax

Rates and thresholds change; manual trackers lag. Reliable software updates EPF wage ceilings, ESI applicability, and state-wise Professional Tax slabs automatically, preventing under-deductions and late-night panic. You focus on people, not policy PDFs and circulars.

TDS, Form 24Q, and Form 16 made simple

Generate accurate TDS computations, produce Form 24Q returns, and issue timely Form 16 without juggling multiple templates. Investment declarations, proof verification, and year-end reconciliations become predictable, minimizing notices and clarifications from authorities.

Self-service that puts payslips in their hands

Employees can download payslips, check deductions, update details, and track leaves and reimbursements without chasing HR. A simple portal or mobile app reduces back-and-forth, making payroll a partnership instead of a monthly mystery.

Old vs new tax regime, explained and applied

Staff can explore the old and new tax regimes with real-time comparisons, then select the best fit. Software applies their choice, reflects it in TDS, and updates payslips instantly, improving financial clarity for everyone on your team.

A Bengaluru design studio’s quick win

After rollout, the studio’s Monday inbox dropped by half: no more missing payslips, tax confusion, or reimbursement status queries. The founder said morale visibly lifted when salaries arrived with clear breakdowns and timely notifications.

Multi-state compliance, one engine

Whether you hire in Maharashtra, Karnataka, or West Bengal, software handles different Professional Tax slabs, holidays, and local rules. No duplicated spreadsheets, no custom hacks—just consistent payroll that respects each state’s nuances.

Contractors, interns, and full-time staff together

Manage varied pay structures—monthly salaries, stipends, per-gig payouts—within one system. Distinct workflows for variable pay, overtime, and reimbursements keep every category compliant and auditable as your workforce mix evolves.

Sharper Cash Flow and Cost Visibility

See upcoming salary, TDS, PF, and ESI outflows at a glance, then plan payments to protect working capital. Spot seasonality—like Diwali bonuses or appraisal cycles—before they squeeze your cash cushion.

Sharper Cash Flow and Cost Visibility

Break down overtime premiums, shift differentials, and leave encashment to reveal hidden costs. With clear analytics, you can refine staffing, adjust rosters, and sustain service quality without overspending during peak periods.

Sharper Cash Flow and Cost Visibility

Auto-post payroll entries into Tally or Zoho Books with mapped ledgers for salaries, contributions, and liabilities. Month-end closes faster, audits are smoother, and your P&L tells a clear, defensible story to stakeholders.

End-to-End Automation, From Attendance to Bank

Integrate biometric devices, web check-ins, or GPS attendance for field teams. Shift calendars, weekly offs, and loss-of-pay rules sync into payroll, turning raw hours into accurate pay without spreadsheet gymnastics.

End-to-End Automation, From Attendance to Bank

Generate compliant NEFT or RTGS bulk files with a maker-checker workflow for approvals. Payment status flows back to payroll, so finance and HR stay aligned without chasing screenshots or manual reconciliations.

Security and Peace of Mind

Limit who sees what. Role-based permissions, approval logs, and change histories ensure accountability and easy audits. If something changes, you know who did it, when, and why—no guesswork during reviews.

Security and Peace of Mind

Choose providers with Indian data centers, encryption in transit and at rest, and certifications like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Your team’s PANs, bank details, and proofs deserve enterprise-grade protection, even at small-business scale.
