Payroll software built for India
Run payroll in minutes - with PF, ESI, Professional Tax and payslips handled for you. Loss-of-pay flows straight from attendance, so there's nothing to reconcile.
Compliant payroll, without the spreadsheets
Statutory compliance built in
PF, ESI and Professional Tax are handled inside every run, so the deductions are right without a spreadsheet of formulas.
Run payroll in minutes
Define pay components once and reuse them every month. Bulk runs mean the whole team is processed in one pass, not one by one.
Attendance-aware loss of pay
LOP flows straight from the attendance your team already records - no re-keying, no reconciliation between two systems.
Clean, shareable payslips
Every employee gets a clear payslip showing earnings, deductions and net pay - downloadable any time from self-service.
PF, ESI, PT and TDS - handled in the run
The statutory pieces with real deadlines are calculated for you each month, so the hard part of Indian payroll isn't a monthly scramble.
- Provident Fund (PF) - Employee and employer contributions calculated and tracked each month.
- ESI - Applied for eligible employees, with contributions handled inside the run.
- Professional Tax (PT) - State-aware - the right slab for where your establishment is registered.
- TDS - Income-tax deducted at source against each employee's projected liability.
From salary structure to payslip
Define salary structures
Break each CTC into basic, HRA, allowances and employer contributions - once per employee, reused every month.
Confirm the month's inputs
Attendance, leave and loss-of-pay are already in HRDesk24, so joiners, exits and LOP are ready without re-entry.
Run gross-to-net
One bulk run applies PF, ESI, PT and TDS across the team and lands on an accurate net pay for everyone.
Share payslips & pay
Generate downloadable payslips and release salaries - with the records you'll need at year-end kept for you.

Payroll questions, answered
Does HRDesk24 handle Indian statutory payroll?
Yes. Every payroll run handles Provident Fund (PF), ESI and Professional Tax (PT), plus TDS, loss-of-pay and downloadable payslips - so compliance is built into the run rather than bolted on afterwards.
Do I have to re-enter attendance for payroll?
No. Loss-of-pay and worked days come from the attendance and leave your team already records in HRDesk24, so there's nothing to reconcile between two systems.
Is it suitable for a small team?
Yes - it's built for growing teams without a dedicated payroll department. Payroll is included from the Starter plan, so a small team can close payroll in minutes instead of losing days to spreadsheets.
Can I import my existing employee and salary data?
Yes. You can import via Excel, so moving from spreadsheets or another tool is straightforward, and larger teams can get hands-on migration support.
How are payslips delivered?
Each run generates a clear payslip per employee - earnings, deductions and net pay - that staff can download themselves any time from their self-service account.
