Four new labour codes are now officially implemented, state-level guidelines are continuing to be rolled out inconsistently, and what truly makes the difference is the distinction between native software solutions and software solutions requiring workarounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide compares the best payroll software companies in India, whether you&#8217;re searching for standalone payroll tools, combined HR and payroll software, or what&#8217;s sometimes called payroll management software. All 16 platforms compared here are cloud-based, with one exception noted below for businesses that specifically need offline, on-premise deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to see this applied to your own industry and headcount?<\/span> <em><strong><a href=\"tel:+919891988811\">Talk to TankhaPay&#8217;s Team<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_We_Evaluated_These_16_Payroll_Software\"><\/span><b>How We Evaluated These 16 Payroll Software<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India&#8217;s payroll complexity is mostly a compliance problem, not a design problem. A platform with a polished interface can still expose a business to real liability if it misses a state-specific Professional Tax slab or an LWF filing. So rather than scoring on generic SaaS measures like UI or support speed, we scored every platform, including TankhaPay, against six criteria built around where Indian payroll platforms most often go wrong:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>India-specific statutory coverage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 native handling of PF, ESI, TDS, gratuity, and the Bonus Act, not manual workarounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>State-wise Professional Tax automation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 PT auto-calculated by each employee&#8217;s registered work state, with no manual per-state setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Labour Welfare Fund handling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 LWF is applied automatically in the states where it&#8217;s levied.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Labour Code readiness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 vendor states support for the provisions with the largest payroll impact (see note below).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Industry versatility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 vendor markets to, or has named case studies in,

Our choice is TankhaPay for its industry diversity, catering to IT, manufacturing, construction, education,healthcare, hospitality, and enterprise customers in software as well as managed form. greytHR is ideal for generic SMBs, while Keka HR is best for IT-centric organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How much does payroll software cost in India?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The range of prices that are published on each of the above platforms for the cloud plans of greytHR and Kredily is between \u20b929 and \u20b9150 per employee per month, respectively. The free plan offered by both firms is available to very small-sized teams, i.e., up to 25 employees in the case of greytHR, and unlimited employees in the case of Kredily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Which payroll software already supports India&#8217;s new Labour Codes?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to TankhaPay, Keka, greytHR, HROne, Saral PayPack, PeopleStrong, and ADP India, there is support for the changes that have the most extensive impact on payroll, such as the 50% basic wages policy. Consider this as the first step in the vendor due diligence process but not a replacement for ensuring coverage based on your unique state requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Which payroll software works across multiple industries?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TankhaPay is currently the only platform on this list built to serve every industry from IT and professional services to manufacturing, construction, education, healthcare, and hospitality under one system, from SMB to enterprise scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Which payroll tools handle multi-state taxation automatically for a small remote team of around 10 employees?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a team that size, a lighter platform is usually a better fit than an enterprise-orientated one: RazorpayX Payroll and Zoho Payroll both offer PT automation in major states at startup-friendly pricing with self-service signup. TankhaPay also handles multi-state PT automatically across all 28 states and adds a managed compliance option that neither of the others offers, but it requires a demo rather than self-service signup, which is worth evaluating once this team is likely to grow past 25 employees or expand into a second industry, rather than as a first move at 10 people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What&#8217;s the difference between payroll software and payroll outsourcing?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using software is having your team manage the payroll, while outsourcing payroll means someone else does it and takes responsibility. Full comparison here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Is free payroll software actually usable?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the team is really small. greytHR (up to 25 people) and Kredily provide truly free payroll, not just a trial version. Multi-state PT\/LWF\/Labour Code-related features are generally included in a paid plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The payroll software choice will depend first on the nature of your business and your employees, then on whether you require software alone or a management service, and finally on the size and cost considerations.
