Smart Payroll
End-to-end payroll with automatic TDS, EPF, ESI, PT, and LWF calculations for every pay cycle.
Running payroll in India means juggling multiple statutory deductions that change by state, salary slab, and employee type. Smart Payroll replaces the spreadsheet-and-challan routine with a rule engine that recalculates every component automatically whenever a salary, location, or regulation changes — so payroll stops being a monthly fire drill and becomes a same-day task.
What's included
Automatic statutory deductions
TDS, EPF (12% employee + employer contribution), ESI (for employees under the ₹21,000 wage ceiling), Professional Tax by state, and LWF are calculated automatically for every employee, every cycle.
Salary revision handling
Mid-cycle increments, promotions, and structure changes are prorated automatically, so a raise on the 15th doesn't mean a manual recalculation.
Challan-ready compliance filing
PF and ESI challans are generated in the exact format required by the government portals, cutting the filing step down from hours to minutes.
Multi-state payroll rules
Professional Tax slabs and other state-specific rules are applied automatically based on each employee's work location, so a multi-state workforce doesn't mean multiple manual processes.
Payslip generation
Detailed, itemized payslips are generated automatically each cycle and made available to employees through the self-service portal.
How it works
1. Attendance and leave sync
Approved attendance and leave data flows in automatically, so payroll is always calculated against accurate, up-to-date records.
2. Rules apply automatically
The compliance engine applies the correct TDS, EPF, ESI, PT, and LWF rules per employee based on salary, location, and employment type.
3. Review and approve
HR reviews a summarized payroll run — flagged exceptions, revisions, and reimbursements included — before final approval.
4. Disburse and file
Payslips go out to employees, and PF/ESI challans are ready to file in the exact government-required format.
Frequently asked questions
Does Smart Payroll handle Professional Tax for every state?
Yes. Professional Tax slabs differ by state, and Fovestta™ applies the correct slab automatically based on each employee's registered work location.
What happens if an employee's salary changes mid-month?
Mid-cycle salary revisions are prorated automatically across the days worked at each rate, so no manual recalculation is needed.
