TankhaPay handles freelancer invoicing, payments, and applicable tax compliance while giving you a live view of every freelancer, invoice, and payment. Built for Indian and global companies managing freelancers in India.
Freelancer payroll outsourcing means handing the full payment process to a dedicated team, from invoice management and hours tracking to payment processing and applicable tax compliance.
Instead of giving your team another payment tool to operate, you have the process managed for you, just as you would with outsourced payroll for employees.
The work may seem manageable at first, but it adds up every month as your freelancer workforce grows.
Chasing invoices, verifying hours, and reconciling payments for every freelancer takes valuable team time.
The manual TDS deduction and submission process is prone to mistakes, missing deadlines, and rushed compliance work.
Details about freelancers, invoice information, and payment status remain scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and payment systems.
When a freelancer has a payment issue, your team has to handle the query instead of relying on dedicated support.
Payment-only tools handle the transfer. TankhaPay manages the wider freelancer payment process, including invoices, timesheets, TDS, and support.
| What matters | Payment-only tools | TankhaPay's Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
| Sending the payment | ✓ Yes, that's the product | ✓ Handled by our team |
| Invoice creation | Your team manages it | ✓ Created and managed for you |
| Hours & timesheet tracking | Your team manages it | ✓ Tracked and verified for you |
| TDS deduction & filing | Your team manages it, or may not | ✓ Filed by our compliance team |
| Freelancer support | Rarely included | ✓ 24/7, for you and your freelancers |
| What lands on your desk | Everything except the transfer | ✓ A dashboard to review, nothing to chase |
This is why TankhaPay's fee reflects a managed service, not just a money transfer. See how pricing works →
