Payroll software for India that follows the law, and explains itself
Attendance and leave flow into salaries; PF, ESI, professional tax, LWF and income tax are worked out from rules you can see and change, and every payslip shows how each figure was reached.

Employees, shifts and attendance
Keep every employee’s record — department, designation, grade, shift, bank and statutory details — and mark attendance by day, with late marks and half days worked out from the shift, and overtime hours entered or imported.
- Departments, designations, grades
- Shifts with grace and weekly offs
- Attendance with late and half days
- Overtime paid at the shift's hourly rate
Leave and holidays
Set up casual, sick, earned and other leave with yearly or monthly credit, carry forward and encashment; employees’ balances update as leave is taken.
- Leave types and rules
- Monthly or yearly credit
- Carry forward and encashment
- Holiday calendar by branch
Statutory deductions by your rules
PF and EPS, voluntary PF, ESI with contribution periods, state professional tax slabs, LWF and statutory bonus are all settings — when the law changes, you change the setting, not the software.
- PF, EPS, admin and EDLI
- ESI with contribution periods
- State PT slabs
- LWF and statutory bonus
Income tax worked out every month
TDS is worked out each month from the tax tables of the year — new or old regime, standard deduction, rebate, surcharge and cess — taking into account what was already deducted and any earlier employer’s salary.
- New and old regime
- Rebate and marginal relief
- Earlier employer’s income
- Spread over the months left
