Payroll Outsourcing in Chennai

Payroll is the one compliance area where a mistake is visible to your whole team the same day. We run the full monthly cycle — computation, payslips, statutory payments and returns — for businesses from a handful of employees to several hundred.

What the monthly cycle covers

Component	What we handle
Salary computation	Structure design, attendance and leave input, arrears, incentives, reimbursements, loss of pay
Payslips	Generated and distributed to employees each cycle
Provident Fund	Establishment registration, employee UAN generation, monthly ECR upload and contribution payment
ESI	Registration, employee coverage, monthly contribution filing and payment
Professional Tax	Tamil Nadu profession tax registration and periodic remittance to the local body
TDS on salary	Monthly deduction, quarterly Form 24Q filing and annual Form 16 issue
Exits	Full and final settlement, gratuity computation, PF and ESI exit formalities, relieving documentation

Salary structuring

How a salary is split between basic pay, allowances and reimbursements changes the take-home figure, the provident fund contribution and the employer's cost — sometimes substantially, and without changing the headline CTC. We design structures that are tax-efficient for the employee and defensible if examined, rather than aggressive ones that create exposure later.

A common and expensive error: treating provident fund and ESI thresholds as static. Coverage is triggered by employee count and wage level, and businesses frequently cross a threshold on hiring without registering. The liability accrues from the date of crossing, not the date you notice.

How it runs each month

Input. You send attendance, new joiners, exits and any variable payments in an agreed format.
Computation and review. We compute the register and send it for your approval before anything is disbursed.
Disbursement support. Bank upload file prepared in your bank's format.
Payslips issued to employees.
Statutory payments and returns filed within their respective due dates.
Reporting. Monthly payroll cost summary and department-wise breakdown for management.

Annual work

We collect and verify investment declarations and proofs, recompute the tax deduction for the closing quarter accordingly, file the annual salary statement, and issue Form 16 to every employee. Employees with queries on their Form 16 come to us rather than to your HR.

Who this suits

Businesses with employees but no dedicated payroll staff; startups scaling headcount faster than their internal processes; companies that want payroll off the founder's desk; and businesses that have crossed a statutory threshold and need registration plus ongoing compliance handled together.

Frequently asked questions

There is no minimum. We run payroll for businesses with a single employee as well as for companies with several hundred. The statutory obligations start earlier than most founders expect, which is often why smaller businesses come to us.

Both. If your business has crossed the coverage threshold and is not yet registered, we complete the establishment registration and then run the monthly compliance. If you are already registered, we take over the existing filing cycle.

Professional tax is levied by the local body and both the slab structure and remittance schedule are state-specific — the Chennai position differs from other states. If you have employees in multiple states, each location has its own registration and periodicity, all of which we handle.

Yes. We can act as the point of contact for employee payroll queries, which keeps the load off your HR or founder. How that is set up is agreed at the start of the engagement.
