Zoho Payroll for Indian Businesses

Zoho Payroll is designed specifically for Indian payroll compliance. It handles the full payroll cycle: salary component configuration (basic, HRA, allowances, deductions), attendance and leave integration with Zoho People, monthly payroll calculation, payslip generation, and bank transfer file generation. On the compliance side, it calculates PF, ESI, Professional Tax (which varies by state), and TDS on salary (Section 192).

Form 16 generation at year-end is automated in Zoho Payroll. The platform tracks all salary payments, TDS deductions, and perquisites through the year and generates Form 16 Part A and Part B for each employee, which can be downloaded or emailed directly to employees.

Integration with Zoho People ensures that new hire data, designation changes, and exit dates flow automatically into Payroll without manual re-entry. Integration with Zoho Books posts the payroll journal entry (salary expense, PF payable, ESI payable, TDS payable, net payable) automatically at each payroll run, keeping the accounting books current without a separate manual entry.
