Payroll Software for India with PF, ESI, PT & TDS Built In
Wokaim turns approved timesheets and leave into a finished Indian payroll: statutory deductions under the current rules, PDF payslips, your bank payout file and the EPFO ECR, without a single spreadsheet.
Every Statutory Deduction, Calculated for You
The rules Indian HR and finance teams track by hand every month, applied automatically in every pay run.
Provident Fund, Split the Way EPFO Expects
12% employee and 12% employer contributions on Basic, capped at the ₹15,000 wage ceiling, with the employer share broken into EPF, EPS pension, EDLI and admin charges.
ESI Coverage That Follows the Rules
Employees earning up to ₹21,000 a month are covered at 0.75% (employee) and 3.25% (employer), rounded up to the next rupee as ESIC requires.
State-Wise Professional Tax
Professional Tax slabs by work-location state for 8 states, including the higher February deduction in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
TDS on Salary Under Section 192
Income tax is projected for the full financial year under each employee’s chosen regime and spread across the remaining pay periods, so bonuses and mid-year changes even out.
CTC to Payslip, Without Spreadsheets
Salaries are split into Basic, HRA and Special Allowance automatically, and approved timesheets and leave flow straight into the pay run.
Payslips and Bank Files in One Click
Once a pay run is approved, employees get itemised PDF payslips and you get the files you need to pay salaries and file EPF.

Because timesheets, leave and payroll live in one place, nothing is re-typed between them.
