If you run payroll for an Indian company, you know the checklist. PF. ESI. Professional Tax (state-specific rates, different deadlines). LWF. Income Tax under Old or New regime — with 87A rebate, standard deduction, Chapter VI-A, HRA exemption, surcharge, cess, and an annualised monthly TDS projection. Then the outputs: Form 16, 24Q, PF ECR, ESI return, PT challan.
Miss one calculation. File one return late. The consequences aren't just financial — they're reputational.
HRIm — the HR operations product inside the HRI platform — is built to handle every piece of this automatically.
The statutory engine
HRIm's compliance engine applies PF, ESI, PT, LWF from effective-dated, state-scoped reference data. That means when the Maharashtra Professional Tax slab changes, HRIm updates — you don't have to manually reconfigure anything.
For Income Tax, HRIm runs both Old and New regime calculations simultaneously, applies the 87A rebate, standard deduction, and Chapter VI-A declarations, computes HRA exemption, and projects an annualised TDS figure each month — so employees never face a large deduction surprise in February or March.
Outputs are generated automatically: Form 16, 24Q, PF ECR, ESI, PT, and LWF files — ready to file.
Payroll that connects to attendance
One of the most common payroll errors isn't a calculation mistake — it's a data entry mistake. Attendance recorded in one system, manually entered into another, errors introduced in transit.
HRIm connects attendance directly to payroll. Biometric, geo-fence, face-detection, and QR check-ins all flow into the system and automatically update leave balances and the payroll run. By the time you approve the payroll batch, the attendance data is already there — verified, reconciled, ready.
Salary structures built for complexity
Real payroll isn't just basic salary. It's allowances, deductions, reimbursements, loans, arrears. HRIm handles all of it with configurable salary structures — and generates PDF payslips automatically at the end of each run.
Multi-company setups run in complete isolation. Full audit trail maintained throughout.
Beyond payroll: performance and lifecycle
HRIm also covers performance management — OKRs, 360° feedback cycles, and appraisal reviews — along with employee self-service so employees can access payslips, apply for leave, and update declarations without raising a ticket.
The result is an HR operations platform that doesn't just run payroll — it runs the entire post-hire lifecycle, compliantly and without the manual overhead.
Statutory calculations in HRIm reference FY 2025-26 rates and are provided as software functionality. Final compliance responsibility rests with the employer.
