Payroll

India-grade payroll, posted to the real ledger.

Pay runs with statutory PF, ESI, professional tax and LWF; a salary income-tax engine that computes both regimes on every run; and accounting that lands in the same general ledger as the rest of your books — not a payroll silo.

The run your auditor signs.

01 · THE TAX ENGINE

Old regime, new regime — computed together

Every projection computes both regimes from one fact set: slabs by age band, rebate and marginal relief, surcharge, cess, rounding. The recommendation and the deduction come from the same math, and employees on the dearer regime are flagged.

STATUTORY RULES, NOT HARDCODED RATES
When the law changes, change a row
Configurable, effective-dated rule masters for PF, ESI, professional tax (with the February variance), LWF, slabs, surcharge bands and deduction sections — overridable per company.
Ask Sense: "Why did Sunita’s TDS change this month?"
Tax projection — Sunita M.

02 · RETURNS & FORM 16

The quarterly return falls out of the run

Salary TDS returns computed straight from posted payroll, an e-return file in the standard layout, and a numbered Form 16 certificate register that stamps back onto the ledger.

GL-NATIVE ACCOUNTING
Payroll that ties at period close
Component-level GL mapping, per-employee payable open items, statutory payable controls — ageing, reversal and reconciliation come from the same finance machinery as everything else.
Ask Sense: "Is the Q4 e-return ready to file?"
03 · LOANS & ADVANCES

Recovered automatically, accounted properly

Disbursements raise real receivables; installments recover inside the run and auto-close at zero; an audit-grade loan register keeps opening + disbursed − repaid = closing.

EXIT DONE RIGHT
Full & final as a posting, not a spreadsheet
Salary to last working day, leave encashment and pending reimbursements, net of notice pay, loan recovery and TDS — discharged through the same salary batch.

THE MECHANISM

Two regimes. One fact set. The math decides.

GL POSTING

salary · TDS · PF — one journal
Both regimes are computed from the same declarations — nothing entered twice.
The better regime is flagged per employee, not decided office-wide.
The run ends as a journal in the same books as everything else.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Everything in Payroll.

Employee & statutory master
Every statutory detail captured once.
PAN, PF, ESI and the rest live on the employee record — compliance starts with the master, not a spreadsheet.
Salary structures & components
Any offer letter, modelled exactly.
Earnings, deductions and formulas compose into structures — the CTC on paper is the CTC in the run.
Ten-state pay runs
One run, every state's rules.
Pay runs apply each state's professional tax and levies automatically — expansion doesn't mean a new payroll headache.
Safe recalculation
Fix the input, rerun without fear.
A correction recalculates cleanly — no orphaned figures, no manual patching of what was already paid.
PF / ESI / PT / LWF rules
Statutory deductions that keep themselves current.
The rules apply the right rates and thresholds every run — the notice from the department never comes.
Dual-regime tax engine
Every employee sees the regime that saves them money.
xMatix works out old and new regime side by side for every person, every month, from the same facts — and payroll deducts exactly that. No spreadsheet reconciliation, no surprise at year-end.
Tax declarations
Declarations in, deductions right.
Employees declare investments in the system; the tax math updates the very next run.
TDS returns & Form 16
Quarter-end filing without the scramble.
TDS returns and Form 16 generate from the runs themselves — what was deducted is what gets filed.
Statutory challans
Every challan, ready on time.
PF, ESI and tax challans produce straight from the run — deposit day stops being a fire drill.
Loans & advances
Staff loans that repay themselves.
Advances and loans deduct on schedule from each payslip, with the balance visible to both sides.
Payslips with YTD
The payslip that answers its own questions.
Every slip carries year-to-date figures — “why is my tax higher this month” answers itself.
One-payment disbursement
The whole payroll, one payment.
Net pay disburses as a single batch — hundreds of salaries, one authorization, full trail.
Full & final settlement
Exits settled completely, and once.
Notice recovery, leave encashment, final tax — the last payslip closes everything, correctly.
GL-native posting
Payroll lands in the books by itself.
Every run flows straight into the accounts — finance never rekeys a salary journal again.
05 · COMMON QUESTIONS

The questions evaluators ask.

Which statutory components are supported?

The Indian set, kept current: PF, ESI, professional tax across ten states' rules, LWF, and income tax with a dual-regime engine that works out old and new regime side by side for every employee, every month. Challans for PF, ESI and tax produce straight from the run, and TDS returns and Form 16 generate from the runs themselves — what was deducted is what gets filed.

How does attendance reach payroll?

Without a file transfer. Attendance captured in xMatix — including field attendance with selfie and geofence verification — lives on the same data model the pay run reads, so the run consumes the recorded facts directly. When an input turns out wrong, recalculation is safe: fix it and rerun, with no orphaned figures and no manual patching of what was already paid.

Can expense claims be filed from the field?

Yes — snap the receipt at the taxi stand and the claim line starts itself. Each line knows its type and its rules, GST details ride along so input credit is captured instead of lost, and the policy engine checks every line as it is entered — the over-limit portion is disallowed automatically, with no awkward email later. Duplicates are checked against the claimant's whole history, not just the current claim. Explore xMatix Expense Management.

How are approvals routed?

By your policy, on the platform. Claims route through the approvals you configure, and the moment one clears it is booked — approved means posted to the GL, with no rekeying and no month-end pile. Payments then batch: approved claims collect into one reimbursement run and net pay disburses as a single authorized batch, each with the trail intact.

How did payroll cost move against last month, by department?
Total cost up 3.8% — driven by two departments: field sales (new joiners) and service (arrears). Everything else is flat. Want the variance report?
