Cloud HRIS and payroll software built for PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax — so India finance and HR close month-end without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Looking for an HR payroll system in India? Asia Payroll Hub’s cloud platform combines core HR, time and leave, employee self-service and a India-ready payroll engine. It is configured around PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax and local pay elements — not a US or EU HRIS with India bolted on as an afterthought.
Teams in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Chennai, and pan-India use it to keep employee data, approvals and gross-to-net in one system, then report cleanly to regional HQ. Rates and statutory mappings last reviewed: August 2026 (confirm current contribution rates and filing rules at go-live).

Gross-to-net mapped to PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax with claims and bank file generation.
Payslips, leave requests, claims and profile updates for employees and managers.
Statutory submission support and month-end variance checks for India.
Role-based access, change history and pay-run locks for finance review.

Buyers searching for a payroll system India usually need more than generic “Asia payroll.” These are the local controls we configure up front:
| Area | How the system helps |
|---|---|
| EPF / EPFO | Employer and employee PF contributions for covered employees. |
| ESI | Healthcare social security where establishment and wage conditions apply. |
| TDS | Monthly tax deduction at source with year-end Form 16 support. |
| State items | Professional Tax and other state labour funds by location. |
Statutory rates and schemes change. Treat this page as product guidance; validate current India rules during implementation.
| Model | Best when | You still need |
|---|---|---|
| HR payroll software | You have a India entity and want digital control in-house | Internal capacity to run and approve payroll |
| Payroll outsourcing | You want specialists to own month-end statutory ops | A India employing entity |
| EOR India | You need to hire before (or instead of) incorporating | Clear role ownership; we employ on your behalf |
Compare models in EOR vs payroll outsourcing, how to choose payroll software and EOR vs entity in India.
