What Is This Service

Payroll Processing Services

Outsourcing payroll to Aksharaa means your salary computation, statutory deduction calculation (PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS), payslip generation, and bank transfer advice are handled by compliance experts — not generalist accountants.

Every payroll cycle is integrated with your PF, ESI, and PT filing obligations so there is no gap between what is paid and what is filed. We serve businesses from 10-employee startups to 500-employee enterprises, with full multi-state capability and data confidentiality protocols.

Why it matters: Delayed PF deposits attract 12% interest, TDS defaults attract prosecution, and non-maintenance of salary registers violates the Shops Act and Factories Act. Aksharaa eliminates all three risks in a single engagement.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from business owners and HR managers about outsourcing payroll to Aksharaa.

Aksharaa fees are based on employee headcount and scope. For most businesses with 20+ employees, the combined cost of errors, statutory penalties, and internal time far exceeds our fee. We typically deliver a quote within 24 hours. Contact us for a custom assessment.
Aksharaa maintains state-wise compliance calendars and configures different Professional Tax slabs and Shops Act provisions for each state. Each location is tracked separately with a consolidated MIS report delivered to your central HR/Finance team every month.
Typically within 5–7 working days of receiving complete employee master data and previous payroll records. We review existing salary structures, reconcile any anomalies, and are ready to process your very next payroll cycle without disruption.
Aksharaa operates under strict data confidentiality protocols. Payroll data is accessible only to the assigned compliance team and your authorised contacts. It is never shared with third parties and all data handling is governed by explicit confidentiality clauses in our service agreement.
Yes, when in scope. Aksharaa collects investment declarations, computes monthly TDS under Section 192, and generates Form 16 for all eligible employees at year-end. Quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q) are filed within prescribed timelines.
Yes. Full and final settlement processing — including notice period adjustment, leave encashment, gratuity calculation, and PF withdrawal or transfer assistance — is included within the standard payroll scope.
Payroll processing is the ongoing monthly function — computation, payslips, deposits, and returns. A payroll audit is a one-time or periodic review of past payroll cycles to identify errors, compliance gaps, and over/under-deductions. Aksharaa offers both as separate or combined services.
Aksharaa accepts attendance and input data in standard formats (Excel, CSV) from any HR or attendance software. We define a clear monthly data submission template at onboarding to ensure smooth input every cycle without system dependency.
