Payroll software for small businesses in India
Under twenty people, payroll is somebody's second job. It runs on a spreadsheet, the rules are checked once a year, and the first sign that something is wrong is usually a notice.

What actually goes wrong on a payroll spreadsheet
Payroll is nobody's actual job
It falls to the owner or an office manager between everything else, so it is late and rarely double-checked.
A run you finish in one sitting
Add your team from a CSV, hit run, and every statutory deduction applies itself. Payslips email out password-protected.
The rules are a moving target
Thresholds and slabs change by notification, and nobody has time to follow circulars.
Rules tracked for you
PF, ESI, TDS and PT are refreshed monthly as the government changes them, so the run stays correct without you reading a notification.
Software feels priced for someone else
Platform fees start in the thousands per month regardless of whether you have eight people or eighty.
₹0 until you are ten people
The Free plan is not a trial. It stays free for your first 10 employees, with no card and no setup fee.
Asked by teams like yours
Your next payroll run is due on the 15th either way.
Free forever for your first 10 employees. No credit card, no setup fee, and no sales call to see a price. If it does not fit, you have lost an afternoon.
