FAQ

Payroll questions, answered

Find answers to common questions about Payroll software in India

Is this payroll software suitable for small Indian businesses?

Yes. Whether you have 10 employees or 10,000, the platform scales with your team. You get enterprise-grade PF, ESI, PT, TDS, and Form 16 automation without the cost or complexity of legacy enterprise payroll software.

How does mid-year tax regime switching work?

Employees select Old or New regime via the self-service portal. The system recalculates TDS liability for the remaining months of the financial year automatically and reflects the change in the next payslip and Form 16 projection.

Are PF, ESI, and Professional Tax workflows supported?

Yes. The engine calculates employer and employee contributions for EPF and ESI, generates ECR files ready for upload to the EPFO portal, and applies state-wise Professional Tax slabs across 19 PT-levying Indian states based on each employee work location.

Do you generate Form 16 and Form 24Q?

Yes. Form 16 Part A is generated via TRACES integration and Part B includes the full salary computation. Form 24Q quarterly return data is prepared with annexures and validation reports ready for upload to the TIN portal by your payroll team.

Can I run payroll across multiple states in India?

Yes. The engine handles state-wise Professional Tax slabs and Labour Welfare Fund deductions based on each employee work-state. Holiday and leave policies are configurable per location. It generates state-wise PF, ESI, PT, and TDS data so your team can file accurately across every state.

How quickly can we go live with your payroll software?

Most Indian companies go live in 2 to 5 business days. Our payroll consultants migrate employee master data, salary structures, and YTD payroll history from Excel, Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Darwinbox, HROne, or any legacy ERP. We also run a parallel payroll cycle to validate every calculation before go-live.

Is salary disbursement integrated with Indian banks?

Yes. We generate NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS files for HDFC, ICICI, SBI, Axis, Kotak, and 20+ Indian banks. Direct bank API integration is available for one-click salary push and auto-reconciliation of credit confirmations.

How are reimbursements handled under the new tax regime?

Reimbursements are submitted by employees through the ESS portal with bills uploaded for OCR verification. The payroll engine automatically routes tax-exempt components correctly under the chosen regime and updates Form 16 Part B at year end.

How is your payroll software better than Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Darwinbox, or HROne?

This payroll software focuses on Indian payroll depth (multi-state PT, LWF deductions, PF, ESI, TDS, Form 16, and Form 24Q output) plus a faster 2 to 5 day implementation, transparent per-employee pricing in INR, and direct bank API payouts. Many alternatives treat statutory features as an add-on, charge per module, or take 3 to 6 months to go live.

Can we migrate from GreytHR or Zoho People in one payroll cycle?

Yes. Our migration team has a standard playbook to import employee master data, salary structures, leave balances, and YTD payroll history from GreytHR, Zoho People, Keka, Darwinbox, HROne, and most legacy ERPs. We run a parallel cycle to validate before cutover, so the live cycle on the new engine matches the previous one to the rupee.

What is the actual setup cost beyond the per-employee fee?

Standard onboarding has no setup fee. The per-employee monthly price is the price. Custom integrations, multi-entity rollouts above five companies, or migration from in-house ERP may be quoted separately. Free demo covers full feature access with zero upfront cost.

Where is employee data hosted and how is it secured?

Employee and payroll data is hosted on Indian cloud infrastructure for data residency. The platform uses industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, configurable data retention policies, and audit logs. Aligned with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control families and hosted on secure enterprise-grade Indian cloud infrastructure.

Do you support contract labour and gig worker payroll?

Yes. The engine handles contract labour wages with separate principal-employer reporting. Coverage logic for gig and platform workers is configurable and will be updated as the Code on Social Security 2020 rules are notified across states.

What support do we get during the first three payroll cycles?

You get a dedicated payroll consultant during onboarding plus daily check-ins for the first three live cycles. Email, chat, and helpdesk support are included on every plan. Premium and Ultimate plans add priority response and a dedicated success manager for the long term.
