About Payroll Assistance
Running payroll each month involves more than transferring salaries. Attendance and leave have to be reflected, tax has to be deducted where applicable, and contributions under PF, ESI and professional tax may need to be calculated and paid on time, depending on the size and location of your business.
We compute monthly salaries from the inputs you share, prepare payslips and payroll summaries, estimate TDS on salary based on employee declarations, and support the related PF, ESI and professional tax filings where these apply to you. Salary payments themselves are made by you from your own bank account.
Who Needs This Service
- Small businesses and startups with their first few employees
- Growing teams that have outgrown manual salary spreadsheets
- Businesses that have recently crossed the headcount at which PF or ESI generally becomes applicable
- Companies and LLPs that need payroll records to match their books and TDS returns
- Employers with staff in more than one state, where professional tax rules can differ
Key Benefits
Accurate monthly payroll
Salaries are computed from attendance, leave and salary structure inputs, with a summary for your approval before payment.
Payslips for employees
Employees receive clear payslips, which they often need for loans, visas and their own tax filing.
TDS on salary coordination
Tax is estimated from employee declarations and aligned with your quarterly TDS returns and annual Form 16.
Statutory contribution support
We help calculate and file PF, ESI and professional tax where they apply, so deadlines are tracked each month.
Eligibility and Applicability
- Any employer paying salaries to one or more employees
- Employers whose employees' salary exceeds the taxable limit, where TDS on salary generally applies
- Establishments that meet the employee-count or other conditions under which PF or ESI registration is generally required
- Employers in states that levy professional tax, where rates and due dates are set by the state
PF, ESI and professional tax applicability depends on headcount, wage levels, the nature of the establishment and the state, and these rules are revised from time to time. We confirm what currently applies to you during onboarding.

- TAN of the business
- PF, ESI and professional tax registration details, where already obtained

Step-by-Step Process
Payroll set-up
We record salary structures, employee details and applicable statutory registrations.
Monthly inputs
You share attendance, leave and any changes for the month by an agreed date.
Computation and approval
We compute net salaries, deductions and contributions and share a payroll summary for your approval.
Payslips and challans
After approval, payslips are prepared and the statutory payment amounts are shared so you can make the payments.
Returns and year-end
We support the related PF, ESI and professional tax filings, and coordinate TDS on salary with quarterly TDS returns and Form 16.
Estimated Timeline and Fees
Estimated timeline
Monthly payroll is usually processed within 2–4 working days after complete inputs are received
The first month takes longer while employee data and registrations are set up. Statutory due dates are fixed by the respective authorities, so inputs need to reach us in time.
Professional fee
Our professional fee is usually a recurring monthly amount based on the number of employees and the statutory filings involved. You receive a written quote before we begin.
Government fees and charges
Salaries, PF and ESI contributions, professional tax and TDS are paid by you directly to employees and the respective authorities. Any interest, damages or late fees levied by the authorities are separate from our fee.
* Timelines are indicative. They can change because of document verification, queries raised by the authority and government processing times, which are outside our control. Approval is decided by the relevant authority under applicable rules.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not registering for PF or ESI after crossing the applicable employee threshold
- Deducting TDS on salary without collecting employee declarations
- Missing the monthly due dates for depositing PF, ESI or TDS
- Paying salaries in cash without proper records or payslips
- Not updating payroll for employees who have left, leading to incorrect filings
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay salaries on our behalf?
No. We compute salaries and prepare payslips and payment summaries. Salaries and statutory dues are paid by you from your own bank account.
When does PF or ESI become applicable?
Applicability generally depends on the number of employees, wage levels and the type of establishment. The thresholds are set by law and can change, so we review your situation before advising on registration.
Can you help with professional tax in different states?
Professional tax is levied by individual states with their own rates and due dates. We can support registration and filings in the states where it applies to you.
Is Form 16 part of this service?
We coordinate TDS on salary through the year so that quarterly TDS returns and Form 16 can be prepared. TDS return filing can be handled as part of the engagement or separately.
