Accurate payroll. On-time compliance. Every month.

At the start of the financial year, we collect regime declarations from each employee. For employees who opt for the old regime, we collect investment declaration details — Section 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA and other deductions — and compute TDS accordingly. For employees on the new regime, TDS is computed on the standard simplified structure without deductions. We review and update TDS working in January when final investment proofs are submitted, ensuring accurate TDS throughout the year and correct Form 16 at year-end.

Yes — we can work alongside your existing HR or payroll software. In most cases, we use your software to process payroll and add the CA oversight layer for compliance accuracy, TDS review and statutory workings. If your software has limitations or is not being used optimally, we can advise on the setup. We have worked with businesses using Keka, GreytHR, Zoho People, Kredily and Excel-based payroll systems. If you do not have any payroll software, we process payroll in Excel and provide all outputs in structured formats.

For mid-month joiners, we compute a prorated salary from the date of joining based on the number of working days in the month. For exits, we compute the salary for days worked, leave encashment, notice period recovery if applicable, gratuity if the employee has completed five years and TDS on the full and final settlement amount. A final payslip and F&F statement are provided. We handle these as part of the regular monthly payroll cycle — you just notify us of the joining or exit date and we take care of the computation.

Yes — we assist businesses that have reached the mandatory threshold with PF and ESIC registration. For PF, registration is mandatory when an establishment has 20 or more employees. For ESIC, it applies to establishments with 10 or more employees where any employee earns ₹21,000 or less per month. We review your applicability, handle the registration process and set up the monthly compliance workflow from the date of registration. If you are already registered and have pending filings, we assist with regularisation of the backlog as well.

Yes — backlog compliance regularisation is one of the most common engagements we handle. We review the pending periods, compute the liability including interest and damages, and work with you to file the pending returns and challans in the correct sequence. For PF, this involves ECR filing for each pending month along with the challan payments. For TDS, this involves computing the correct quarterly figures, filing Form 24Q for each pending quarter and paying the interest on delayed challan. Once the backlog is cleared, we set up a clean monthly process going forward.

Absolutely. All employee salary and payroll data is handled exclusively by our CA team under strict professional confidentiality obligations under the Chartered Accountants Act. We sign a confidentiality undertaking as part of our engagement letter. Salary data is never shared with any third party and is handled completely outside your internal team's access — which also means your employees' individual pay levels remain confidential within your organisation.

Yes — this is a common arrangement. Your internal accountant can handle attendance data collection and salary transfer, while we take responsibility for salary computation, compliance workings, TDS accuracy, statutory filings and Form 16. This hybrid model gives you the cost efficiency of an in-house resource with the technical accuracy and compliance oversight of a CA firm. We define clear responsibilities during onboarding so there is no overlap or confusion.
