Run teaching and non-teaching staff on separate, correctly configured pay tracks, manage contract and visiting faculty as a distinct category from permanent appointments, compute arrears when a pay revision applies retroactively across the academic year, and apply Professional Tax correctly across every campus in your network - without the two payrolls colliding in the same cycle.
A school chain or college group with permanent faculty, contract lecturers, non-teaching staff, and support workers spread across multiple campuses faces payroll complexity that a single-track monthly-salary system was never built to handle.
Teaching staff carry allowances, PF basis, and TDS treatment that are entirely different from non-teaching and administrative staff. Mixing both in a single payroll process inevitably produces errors in one or the other.
Contract teachers on annual appointments and visiting faculty engaged per lecture or per semester cannot be processed identically to permanent staff, but most generic payroll software offers no mechanism to handle them differently.
When a pay revision applies retroactively - a revision dated April but processed in August, or a multi-year arrear following a pay commission update - computing the differential correctly per employee across all affected months is exactly the kind of work that spreadsheets get wrong.
Each campus of a school body or college network operating in various states will have its own Slab of Professional Tax and Schedule to file, which needs to be correctly kept track of.
Leave encashment at year-end, payroll continuation during the summer vacations, and F&F for contract faculty who have completed their annual assignments all come in at once.
The colleges that are enrolling students within the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme should have their own system for stipends as well as reporting for the schemes done independently of other college employees' salaries.
Schools, colleges, and education groups run several distinct workforce categories simultaneously, each with different pay structures and compliance obligations. TankhaPay handles all of them from one login.
Full CTC with correct teaching allowances, PF on applicable basis, TDS under salary regime, and gratuity provisioning.
Full Benefits + Teaching AllowancesFixed-term and annually-renewed appointments processed with the correct pay structure and applicable benefits for their category.
Fixed-Term Pay TrackPer-lecture or per-semester engagements managed as a distinct pay category, separate from the permanent and contract faculty payroll run.
Per-Lecture / Per-SemesterA separate payroll for admissions, accounts, library, and office staff with proper calculation of PF and TDS along with faculty payroll.
Separate Admin Pay TrackThe housekeeping, transport, security, and canteen personnel, who were ESIC eligible in most cases, could be managed along with the payroll of teachers and administration.
ESIC + Minimum WagesStudents engaged under the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme, with stipend disbursement and government scheme reporting handled separately.
NATS Stipend + ReportingProcessing payroll for an educational institution entails managing various types of employees, arrears, and campuses, all at once within one month. Below is how TankhaPay makes it easy to process each step.
Integrate all full-time staff, contractual employees, visiting faculty members, non-teaching staff, and support staff in all campuses within one secure portal.
Computations for teaching and non-teaching faculty are done separately using different allowance and PF rates. In case there is any revision in salary, the difference is calculated separately by TankhaPay for every affected employee for all concerned months.
All compulsory deductions are made with precision - PF as per the correct applicable rule, TDS under the respective scheme, and proper computation of PT for each campus.
Once payroll is approved, salaries and visiting faculty payments are credited across every campus and category. Digital payslips are generated instantly in the employee app, and all statutory returns are filed - PF ECR, PT remittance, and TDS.
CMMI Level 5 is a certification held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your faculty payroll and statutory filings are processed under is the same standard trusted by the Government of India.
There is no other competitor for Indian payroll software that has such accreditation. It gives you another level of assurance of the way your payroll will be managed.
We have processed payroll through every significant Indian labour and tax law change since 1998. New Labour Code 2025 changes are not a new problem for us - they're the latest in a 26-year track record.
Permanent, contractual, and visiting faculty members, all on different terms – this is the kind of structure that the education sector requires for its payroll process, which is why TankhaPay was designed for multi-pay track systems.
Run it in-house for a single campus. When your network scales to 20 or more campuses, switch to managed services on the same platform - no migration, no data loss.
From two-track faculty payroll to retroactive arrear cycles - every education-specific requirement handled by the system, not fixed with a spreadsheet the week before disbursement.
Both teaching and non-teaching staff have been configured as two different payrolls on one software, each payroll having the correct allowances, PF basis, and TDS computation for its own category, so as not to interfere with each other’s payroll.
Contract and adhoc faculty on fixed-term appointments are processed with the benefits applicable to their category. Visiting and guest faculty engaged per lecture or per semester are managed as a distinct pay category, completely separate from the permanent faculty run.
When a pay revision applies from April but is processed in August, TankhaPay computes the arrear differential for each affected employee across every applicable month and generates the revised TDS in the same payroll cycle, without a separate manual calculation.
Each campus carries the PT slab and filing schedule of its registered state. TankhaPay applies PT automatically per campus location, so a school or college group with campuses across several states gets accurate compliance at every location without HR tracking it manually.
Engineering and vocational colleges engaging students under the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme need stipend disbursements processed and government scheme reporting handled completely separately from regular faculty and staff payroll.
