Viriksha HR Solution
Payroll Processing Services Chennai & India
Payroll Processing Services in Chennai and Across India — Every Rupee Right. Every Filing On Time. Every Law Covered.
Payroll processing in India is not a simple calculation. It is a monthly intersection of salary computation, tax deductions, statutory contributions, compliance filings, and register maintenance — governed by multiple central and state laws that carry real penalties when they are not followed. Viriksha HR Solutions is a dedicated payroll processing company serving businesses in Chennai and across India — providing complete payroll management services, PF consultancy, statutory compliance, and payroll outsourcing to businesses of every size and industry.
What Payroll Processing Actually Involves
Payroll processing is the end-to-end monthly cycle of calculating, documenting, and disbursing employee salaries along with all associated statutory obligations. In India, payroll processing involves significantly more than computing gross pay and transferring net salary to a bank account.
A complete payroll processing cycle includes attendance data reconciliation, gross salary calculation based on applicable salary structures, computation of all statutory deductions — Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, and income tax TDS where applicable — generation of payslips for every employee, preparation of bank transfer files, submission of monthly statutory returns and challans, maintenance of prescribed statutory registers, and management of new joiner enrollments and leaver exits.
For businesses in India, company payroll processing is also a direct compliance function — because every salary payment triggers obligations under multiple central and state labour laws. Payroll processing providers who handle only the salary calculation and miss the compliance obligations leave their clients exposed to notices, penalties, and inspection risk that compounds with every month of non-compliance.
Indian Payroll Laws Every Employer Must Comply With
India’s payroll compliance framework spans multiple central acts and state-level regulations. Every payroll processing firm working in India — and every business processing payroll internally — must be fully current on all of the following.
Applicable to establishments with 10 or more employees where any employee earns up to ₹21,000 per month gross. Employee contribution is 0.75% of gross wages; employer contribution is 3.25%. Remittance must be made before the 15th of the following month. ESI provides health, maternity, disability, and dependent benefits to covered employees.
A state-level tax levied on salaried employees in most Indian states. Rates and slabs vary by state — Tamil Nadu levies PT at ₹208 per month for employees earning above ₹21,000 per month. Deduction, remittance, and return filing obligations must be met for every applicable state where the business employs staff.
A state-level statutory contribution applicable in most states, collected periodically — monthly, half-yearly, or annually depending on the state. In Tamil Nadu, LWF contributions are collected half-yearly. Both employer and employee contribute at the applicable state-prescribed rates.
Applicable to every establishment with 20 or more employees. Both employer and employee contribute 12% of basic wages and Dearness Allowance to the EPF. The employer's contribution is split — 8.33% goes to the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) and 3.67% to EPF. Monthly ECR filing and challan payment must be completed before the 15th of the following month. Non-compliance attracts interest at 12% per annum plus damages up to 100% of arrears.
Governs the timely payment of wages to employees. Wages must be paid by the 7th of the following month for establishments with fewer than 1,000 employees, and by the 10th for larger establishments. Deductions from wages are strictly regulated.
Applicable to establishments with 20 or more employees. Eligible employees must receive a minimum bonus of 8.33% of annual wages — subject to a statutory ceiling — within eight months of the close of the financial year.
Every employee who completes five years of continuous service is entitled to gratuity — calculated at 15 days' wages for every completed year of service. Payroll processing services must maintain accurate gratuity liability records for every eligible employee.
Mandates that every employer pay at least the applicable minimum wage for each category of employee in each state. Rates are revised periodically by state governments and vary by industry, skill category, and geographic zone. Tamil Nadu revises minimum wages regularly — payroll processing companies must track and apply every revision.
Employers must deduct Tax Deducted at Source from salaries of employees whose annual income exceeds the basic exemption limit. TDS must be deposited monthly and reported quarterly through Form 24Q. The annual Form 16 must be issued to every employee from whose salary TDS has been deducted.
The Code on Wages consolidates four central laws — the Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, Payment of Bonus Act, and Equal Remuneration Act. While full implementation is pending, payroll processing providers must stay current on notified provisions and their compliance implications.

Businesses Served Across Tamil Nadu & Pan India
Payroll Services for Small Business — Built for What You Actually Need
Small businesses in Chennai and across India face a payroll paradox: the compliance obligations are identical to those of a large enterprise, but the resources available to manage them are a fraction of the size. A 15-person company must comply with the same PF, ESI, PT, and LWF requirements as a 500-person organisation — and faces the same penalties for non-compliance.
Viriksha’s payroll services for small business are specifically designed for this reality. Our small business payroll model provides complete payroll processing — salary computation, statutory deductions, payslip generation, PF and ESI filings, PT remittance, and statutory register maintenance — at a monthly cost that is structured for businesses under 50 employees.
There is no minimum headcount threshold. There is no requirement to take services you do not need. And there is no difference in compliance quality between the payroll we process for a 12-person startup and the payroll we process for a 400-person enterprise.
Payroll Outsourcing Services — The Complete Handover Model
For businesses that want payroll removed from their internal agenda entirely, Viriksha’s payroll outsourcing services provide the complete handover model — one monthly input from your side, everything else managed by our payroll outsourcing team.
Under our payroll outsourcing model, you send attendance data and joiner or leaver information at the end of each month. Viriksha handles salary processing, all statutory deductions, payslip delivery, PF ECR filing, ESI remittance, PT payment, LWF contribution, statutory register updates, and the monthly compliance report.
Your HR team does not manage payroll. Your finance team does not chase filing deadlines. Your management does not field payroll-related compliance queries. Payroll outsourcing with Viriksha means payroll is done — correctly, completely, and on time — without occupying any internal bandwidth.
For businesses currently running payroll on Excel, managing PF and ESI through a separate vendor, or spending more than two days per month on payroll administration, payroll outsourcing companies like Viriksha represent a straightforward, cost-effective solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Payroll processing in India is the complete monthly cycle of calculating employee salaries, applying all statutory deductions — PF, ESI, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, and TDS where applicable — generating payslips, remitting statutory contributions, filing returns with EPFO, ESIC, and state tax authorities, and maintaining the statutory registers that Indian labour law requires. A complete payroll processing service covers all of these obligations, not just the salary calculation.
Indian payroll processing is governed by the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952, the Employees' State Insurance Act 1948, the Professional Tax Act applicable in each state, the Labour Welfare Fund Act of each state, the Payment of Wages Act 1936, the Minimum Wages Act 1948, the Payment of Bonus Act 1965, the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, and the Income Tax Act for TDS on salary under Section 192.
PF consultancy is a specialist service that manages all EPFO compliance obligations for a business — including registration, monthly ECR filing, UAN creation, nomination forms, transfer and withdrawal support, and department notice management. Any business with 20 or more employees requires PF registration. Viriksha's PF consultancy service manages every aspect of EPFO compliance as part of or alongside payroll processing services.
Viriksha provides complete payroll processing for small businesses — including salary computation, PF and ESI deductions and filings, Professional Tax, payslip generation, statutory register maintenance, and monthly compliance reporting. Our payroll services for small business are priced on a per-employee model with no minimum headcount requirement.
Most payroll processing companies handle salary calculation and statutory filings. Viriksha additionally maintains your complete statutory registers as standard — not as an add-on — provides embedded PF consultancy for EPFO compliance and notice management, handles TDS on salary and Form 24Q filing, and provides a dedicated payroll manager who owns every output. We also cover Pan India payroll with state-specific compliance in every jurisdiction your business operates in.
The Viriksha payroll onboarding process is completed within one payroll cycle — typically 7 to 10 working days. We collect your employee master, salary structures, and last three months of payroll records, review them before taking over, and process the first cycle with full compliance from day one.
