Stop paying for fifty seats when you have eight.
INDPayroll runs the entire statutory cycle - PF, ESI, TDS and Professional Tax - for companies still small enough to fit in one room. Zero rupees up to ten people. Fifty-two rupees a head after that.
What a ten-person team actually pays elsewhere.
Indian payroll platforms price in slabs. The entry plan bundles twenty, fifty, sometimes a hundred seats, and a small company subsidises the empty ones. Below is the same ten-person company, priced four ways.
Entry plan bundles 50 employees into the base price. At eight people you are paying for forty-two empty seats.
Entry plan is capped at 20 employees. No free plan and no free trial appears on their pricing page.
No rupee figure renders on their pricing page. The published route to a number is a sales conversation.
Free for the first ten employees, with no expiry date. The eleventh person moves you to ₹52 per head - still with no platform fee underneath.
Start at ₹0Figures read from each vendor's own public pricing page in August 2026 and quoted before taxes unless the vendor states otherwise. Per-employee maths assumes ten employees on the entry plan. Vendors change prices - check theirs before you decide.
Nine things the month-end actually demands.
Salary structures
Basic, HRA, LTA, special allowance - or paste the CTC sheet you already keep.
PF with ECR export
Employee and employer split, wage ceiling applied, ECR file ready for the portal.
ESI and challans
Gross-wage threshold tracked per person, so nobody drops in or out unnoticed.
TDS, both regimes
Projected across the year, old versus new compared per employee, revised as proofs arrive.
PT for every state
Professional Tax slabs across states and union territories, maintained for you.
Form 16 and 24Q
Quarterly 24Q statements and Form 16 with Part A and Part B, generated from the same run.
Gratuity and bonus
Statutory bonus and gratuity computed at settlement rather than estimated on a napkin.
Labour Welfare Fund
State-wise LWF deducted in the months it actually applies, skipped in the months it does not.
Employee self-service
Payslips, investment proofs and tax projections, so nobody messages you asking for a PDF.
Four things that change on the thirtieth of the month.
Your first payroll run happens today, not in week three.
Import a CSV, confirm one salary structure, press run. There is no implementation team to schedule, no dedicated onboarding manager and no two-to-four-week go-live - and no invoice for any of them.
Create an accountThe filings that keep founders awake, prepared in the background.
PF ECR, ESI statement, quarterly Form 24Q, Form 16 with both parts. Compliance depth is not something we hold back for the expensive tier - the calculations are the product, not the upsell.
Read the compliance guidesKnow the true cost of a hire before you send the offer.
Each run updates gross, employer PF, gratuity accrual and projected tax per person. When a co-founder asks whether the next hire is affordable, the answer is already on a screen instead of buried in a spreadsheet tab.
Try the CTC calculatorWhen you outgrow ten people, the price is already on this page.
₹52 per employee per month, billed annually, up to two hundred people. You will not sit through a discovery call to learn what year two costs, because we have just told you.

The obvious worry about free payroll is that it skips the hard parts.
It is a fair worry, so here is the statutory ground the product covers, each one linked to the guide that explains what the law actually asks of you.
“Two vendors quoted us twenty-five hundred a month when we were eight people. We just wanted to pay our team and file the ECR.”
Two things worth looking at next
Check-ins, shifts and regularisations that land in the same payroll run as loss-of-pay and overtime - no export step in between.
