Expert Curated
Indian payroll is complex — PF, ESI, TDS, professional tax, LWF, gratuity, and state-specific rules mean manual payroll is error-prone and compliance penalties are common. The right payroll software automates all statutory deductions, generates government-required files, and keeps your team compliant as rules change.
EPFO can impose penalties of 5–25% of dues plus damages of 12–37% per annum for delays or errors. ESI non-compliance carries penalties and can result in ESIC summons. More serious: employees can file complaints that trigger labour inspections. Proper payroll software eliminates these risks by auto-calculating based on the latest government rules.
GreytHR and Keka both support multiple employment types — regular employees, contract staff, and consultant payments. For contract workers above ₹20,000/month, TDS deduction under Section 194C applies. Payroll software can be configured to handle different TDS treatment for each worker category.
