Indian statutory compliance in INDpayroll

FAQ
Yes. PF and ESI contributions are calculated automatically each cycle based on each employee's eligibility, and TDS is calculated by projecting each employee's annual tax liability under both tax regimes and applying the lower one by default - no manual threshold-checking or tax math required.
INDPayroll's calculation engine is refreshed monthly, so wage ceilings, PT slabs, tax regime rules and other statutory changes are reflected in your payroll automatically as they're notified.
Our compliance team monitors official government notifications and updates the calculation engine as rules are formally notified, so your PF, ESI, TDS and other statutory calculations stay accurate automatically - you don't have to track every central or state notification yourself.
