Core Features

Everything Indian Payroll Demands

Built from the ground up for Indian compliance, Indian banks, and Indian businesses — not adapted from a global tool.

One-Click Salary Processing

Run monthly payroll for your entire team in under 5 minutes. Automatic gross-to-net calculation with overtime, leaves, bonuses, and deductions. Built-in error checks catch mistakes before disbursement.

Full Indian Statutory Compliance

Auto-calculate and file PF, ESI, PT (Professional Tax), LWF, TDS, and Form 16/24Q. Always up-to-date with the latest government rules — you never have to track regulation changes.

Digital Payslips via Email & WhatsApp

Auto-generated PDF payslips with company branding, sent to every employee's email and WhatsApp on payday. Includes salary breakdown, leave balance, and YTD totals. Self-service download from portal.

Bank-Ready Salary Disbursement

Generate NEFT/IMPS/RTGS files in the exact format required by SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, Yes Bank, and 30+ Indian banks. Upload to bank portal — salaries paid in minutes, not hours.

Attendance & Leave Integration

Sync with biometric devices, web check-in apps, and HR systems. Auto-pull attendance data into payroll. Configurable leave policies (CL, SL, EL, comp-off, maternity) with carry-forward and encashment rules.

Employee Self-Service Portal

Employees download payslips, submit IT declarations (HRA, 80C, LTA), claim reimbursements, view tax projections, and apply for leaves — from web or mobile. Reduces HR queries by 70%.
