TankhaPay outsources payroll processing and statutory compliance for on-roll, off-roll, contractual and freelance workers, running alongside your existing HRMS, not instead of it.
Three ways to fix payroll, choose based on how much control your team wants to keep, and whether you're replacing your HRMS or keeping it.
Your team retains ownership of the process. TankhaPay handles calculations, deductions and payslip generation for the worker categories you choose.
TankhaPay's certified team runs compliance filing, challans and statutory returns end to end. You retain oversight without running the process yourself.
Using any other HRMS that you don't want to replace? Our payroll engine integrates seamlessly with your existing HRMS without requiring a migration.

Most HRMS platforms are built around full-time, on-roll employment. The moment a business adds contractual staff, daily wage workers or freelancers, that same system usually can't handle the different pay cycles, tax treatment and compliance obligations each one carries. TankhaPay treats on-roll, off-roll and freelance payroll as three distinct problems, each with the right statutory coverage built in, rather than forcing every worker type through one blended process.
Full-time employees, complete statutory coverage
Contract labour, daily wage, state-wise compliance
TDS classification, GST, misclassification risk
Complete statutory coverage for permanent employees, calculated and filed automatically every cycle.
12% employer contribution, ECR filing, UAN management
3.25% contribution by the employer, eligibility assessment, half-yearly reporting
Monthly contributions, eligibility for Gratuity based on Social Security Code 2020
8.33% under the Payment of Bonus Act, correct ceiling calculation
Contract labour compliance and state-wise variance handled without extra headcount on your side. If you need to formally employ workers without your own entity in a state, TankhaPay's Employer of Record service covers that separately.
Registration, licensing and welfare obligations for contract labour
Correct slabs and intervals across every state you operate in
50% wage rule, gig coverage, digital establishment registers
Variable attendance-linked processing, correct minimum wage application
Most HRMS systems have been designed to cater to employees, not pay-per-deliverable freelancers. Incorrectly categorizing the payroll will result in audit risks rather than administration issues.
Correct classification between contract work and professional fees, applied per engagement
Invoice-level GST tracking for freelance and contractor payments where applicable
Reduce exposure from freelancers who function closer to employees
Payment cycles that don't follow a fixed monthly salary structure

| What matters | TankhaPay | Typical payroll outsourcing provider |
|---|---|---|
| Worker types covered | On-roll, off-roll, contractual and freelance, one platform | Usually on-roll only |
| Existing HRMS | Payroll module can run alongside any enterprise grade HRMS, no migration required | Often requires moving off your current HRMS |
| Software or outsourcing | Move between self-managed software and managed outsourcing without switching vendors | Typically locked into one model |
| Freelancer compliance | TDS classification (194C/194J) and GST reconciliation built in | Rarely addressed as a distinct capability |
