Automated Indian payroll with PF, ESI, Professional Tax, and TDS compliance. Salary processing, payslip generation, and statutory filing that actually follows your company's pay structure.
What we configure
Zoho Payroll is built specifically for Indian payroll. It automates salary calculations, statutory deductions (PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS), payslip generation, and government filing, replacing error-prone spreadsheets and expensive outsourced payroll providers with a system your HR team controls directly.
Indian payroll is uniquely complex. PF wage ceilings, ESI eligibility thresholds, state-specific Professional Tax slabs, Section 192 TDS calculations, and investment declaration workflows all need to work together accurately every month. Aaxonix configures Zoho Payroll to match your company's salary structure, deduction rules, and bank disbursement process so payroll runs are accurate, compliant, and fast.
Automated PF, ESI, PT, and TDS calculations eliminate manual errors that lead to compliance penalties and employee disputes.

ECR files for PF, ESI challans, Form 24Q for TDS, and Form 16 for employees, generated automatically at the right time.
