Learn More →Payroll Processing, PF and ESI Compliance
Once you employ people, payroll brings a monthly compliance cycle with it — deductions, contributions, filings and certificates, all on fixed dates. We run the payroll and keep the PF and ESI side current, so your staff get paid correctly and the filings happen without you chasing them.
What is included
Payroll processing
Monthly payroll run from the inputs you provide — attendance, leave, joiners, leavers and any variable pay.
Salary computation
Gross to net calculation covering statutory deductions, TDS on salary, reimbursements and any structure you have agreed with employees.
Payslip preparation
Payslips issued to each employee, formatted properly and showing the breakdown they need for their own tax filing.
PF and ESI registration
Registration support where you have crossed the applicable employee threshold, or where you want to register voluntarily.
Provident Fund compliance
Monthly contribution computation, challan generation and return filing, with employee records kept current as people join and leave.
ESI compliance
Contribution computation and monthly filing for employees within the wage limit, and support with employee registration.
Monthly compliance management
The whole cycle run to a calendar rather than assembled at the last minute, with the documents we need requested from you in advance.
Notices and inspections
Support if an inspection is scheduled or a notice arrives, including assembling the records that will be asked for.
Who this is for
- Businesses hiring their first employees and unsure what registrations now apply
- Small businesses running payroll on spreadsheets and wanting it done properly
- Companies that have registered for PF or ESI but fallen behind on filings
- Businesses facing an inspection or holding a notice
- Anyone who wants payslips and salary TDS handled correctly so employees can file their own returns without queries
How it works
You send attendance, leave and any changes to headcount or pay by an agreed date each month. We compute the payroll, share it for your approval before anything is paid, then generate payslips and complete the PF, ESI and salary TDS filings. You receive the payroll register, the payslips and the filing acknowledgements each cycle.
At year end we produce Form 16 for your employees, which depends on the quarterly TDS returns having been filed correctly through the year — one reason not to let that slip.
Common questions
When do PF and ESI become mandatory for my business?
Both kick in once your employee count reaches the applicable threshold, and the thresholds differ between the two. ESI additionally only applies to employees earning under a specified monthly wage. Registration can also be done voluntarily below the threshold, which some businesses choose for recruitment reasons. Tell us your headcount and salary range and we will tell you what applies.
We only have three or four employees. Is it worth outsourcing payroll?
For three or four people the payroll arithmetic is simple. What is not simple is salary TDS, issuing Form 16, and staying correct as people join and leave mid-month. Most businesses this size need help with the compliance rather than the calculation.
Do you handle TDS on salary as well?
Yes — computation through the year based on employee declarations, deduction each month, the quarterly returns, and Form 16 at year end.
What happens when an employee leaves?
Full and final settlement computed, the leaving date recorded in the PF and ESI records, and the relevant exit formalities completed so the employee can transfer or withdraw without a problem later.
Our filings are behind. Can that be regularised?
Usually, with the contributions due plus interest and any damages. The longer it runs the more it costs, and unpaid employee contributions are treated seriously, so it is worth dealing with promptly.
