Overview

Once you have employees, payroll stops being a spreadsheet and becomes a monthly compliance obligation. Salaries have to be computed with the right statutory deductions — provident fund and ESI where applicable, and TDS on salary — the dues deposited on time, quarterly TDS returns filed, and Form 16 issued to employees at year end. Getting any of this wrong creates interest, penalties and unhappy staff.

CapEasy processes your monthly payroll end to end: it computes net pay and each statutory deduction, generates payslips, deposits TDS and PF/ESI within due dates, files the quarterly TDS returns (such as Form 24Q for salaries and 26Q for other payments), and issues Form 16. TDS on payments to contractors and vendors is handled the same disciplined way.

CapEasy is a private consultancy and not a government authority; statutory rates, thresholds and applicability depend on the law as it applies to your business, and we apply them correctly on your behalf.

Who it’s for

  • Startups and SMEs that have started hiring and need compliant payroll
  • Growing teams where PF/ESI and TDS on salary now apply
  • Businesses that deduct TDS on contractor, professional or rent payments
  • Founders who want payslips, deposits and TDS returns handled without in-house payroll staff

Eligibility & requirements

  • Employee master data and agreed salary structures
  • Attendance / leave inputs for the period
  • PF/ESI registration details, where applicable
  • PAN of employees and of any deductees (contractors, vendors)

Frequently asked

Payroll & TDS — questions founders ask

PF and ESI applicability depends on employee count and wage thresholds set by law. We assess whether they apply to you and, once applicable, handle registration and monthly compliance.
