What is Payroll Processing?

Payroll processing means calculating each employee's salary, deductions and net pay every month, paying them, issuing payslips, and then depositing and filing the statutory items. In India, these typically include Provident Fund (PF), Employees' State Insurance (ESI), professional tax and TDS on salary.

Errors hurt trust and create penalties. Doing payroll in a spreadsheet works until the second or third hire, after which a documented monthly process is safer.

Is this right for you?

Who this is for

A good fit if you

  • Have employees and want payroll run reliably
  • Want PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS handled
  • Are hiring your first team
  • Have made payroll mistakes before

Something else may suit you better if

You have no employees. Payroll does not apply to a sole founder drawing profits.

You need only contracts. See employment contracts.

You need only PF or ESI registration. See PF and ESI registration.

Timeline & cost

How long it takes and what it costs

Payroll runs on a monthly cycle. Setup takes a few working days, and each month follows an agreed calendar.

Your total cost has two parts: our professional fee, and any government or statutory fees that apply. Government fees are set by the authority and vary by case, so we give you an itemised quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for packages.
