Payroll that takes an hour, not a weekend
AQ Payroll handles salary calculation, PF/ESI deductions, payslip generation, and TDS compliance for small Indian businesses. Run payroll in a few clicks — no CA hand-holding required for routine months.
From ₹3,000/mo
The problem
Sound familiar?
Calculating PF, ESI, and TDS manually in Excel every month eats a full day.
Payslips are inconsistent — different formats, missing fields, and occasional errors.
You find out about a statutory filing deadline from your CA after it has passed.
New joiners and resignations mid-month mean recalculations that are easy to get wrong.
No audit trail when a staff member disputes their deductions.
Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Payslip Generation
Auto-generate compliant payslips for every employee in one click — branded with your company name and logo.
Statutory Compliance
PF, ESI, PT, and TDS calculations run automatically based on each employee's pay structure and applicable slabs.
Employee Records
Maintain salary structures, bank details, PAN, and Aadhaar in a single employee profile with full change history.
Attendance Integration
Import monthly attendance data to auto-calculate LOP deductions — no manual adjustment spreadsheets.
Leave Management

Who this is for
Built for
Indian SMBs with 10–100 employees who process payroll manually each month and want to stop losing a day to calculations and compliance checks.
Not for
Companies with complex ESOP structures, international payroll, or very high headcounts requiring enterprise HRMS — our system handles Indian statutory compliance well but is not designed for cross-border employment.
