NEW Income Tax Act, 2025 — ready for Tax Year 2026-27

India payroll,
run end to end.

Salary structures, attendance, both tax regimes, PF, ESIC and professional tax, payslips and the working papers behind your return. One system, reconciled every month.

No card. Run one full month before you decide.

The Act changed. Your payroll should already know.

The Income Tax Act, 2025 takes effect 1 April 2026 and renumbers nearly everything. We print the old section beside the new one — Section 202 [115BAC] — the way filing software does, because your reviewer has years of muscle memory in the old numbering.

Standard deduction
₹75,000

New regime. Driven by the regime you choose, not by which Act applies.

Old regime ₹50,000
Rebate · Sec 156 [87A]
₹60,000

Where total income stays within ₹12,00,000. Marginal relief applies just above it, so one extra rupee does not cost the whole rebate.

TDS on salary
Sec 392

60+ TDS sections collapse into three: 392 salary, 393 everything else, 394 TCS.

New regime slabs

The default regime.

to ₹8,00,0005%
to ₹12,00,00010%
to ₹16,00,00015%
to ₹20,00,00020%
to ₹24,00,00025%
above ₹24,00,00030%

Plus 4% cess, and surcharge above ₹50,00,000. The old regime stays available with its own slabs, Chapter VIII [VI-A] deductions and HRA — and we tell each employee which one costs them less.

Renumbering you meet on day one

Limits are unchanged. Only the numbers moved.

Tax Year 2025-26 still runs on the 1961 Act. Both stay live, so a March 2026 payroll and an April 2026 payroll are each computed correctly.

Compliance calendar

The dates that actually bite

Interest under Sec 201(1A) runs from the date of deduction, not the date you noticed. We put deducted beside deposited, so a short deposit surfaces before the deadline.

Every month

7th — TDS deposited
For the previous month. 30 April for March.
15th — PF
ECR upload and contribution.
15th — ESIC
Contribution for the month.
Varies — Professional tax
State by state, and we hold every state's slabs.

Every quarter — Form 138 [24Q]

31 July
Quarter 1 · April to June
31 October
Quarter 2 · July to September
31 January
Quarter 3 · October to December
31 May
Quarter 4 · January to March, with annexures

Q4 needs the landlord's PAN above ₹1,00,000 of annual rent, and the lender's PAN where housing-loan interest is claimed. We collect both and flag whoever is still missing.

The platform

Built for a team that has to defend every number

Define a component once

Add an allowance and it reaches the payslip, PF and ESIC wage basis, bonus, gratuity, the TDS computation with its exemption limit, and every reconciliation. No heading is hardcoded.

Both regimes, every month

HRA month by month rather than annually, Form 12B previous employer, house-property set-off, Rule 3 perquisites, and Sec 89 relief with Form 39 [10E].

Declarations that get checked

Anything an employee claims that reduces tax stays inert until a reviewer verifies it — and editing a claim sends it back for re-check.

Payslips employees collect

Downloaded from self-service, never emailed. A payslip in a mailbox outlives the employment and travels wherever that mailbox goes.

Working papers for the return

Deductees, monthly detail, salary breakup, challans and exceptions in one workbook — with a missing PAN separated from things that merely need a look.

Full and final that is correct

Leave encashment exemption applied at settlement on the least-of-four rule, naming the limb that bound — not deferred to a certificate that never comes.

Data protection

Your employees' data, handled properly

Under the DPDP Act, 2023

You are the data fiduciary; we process on your documented instructions under a signed DPA. Each company sits in its own isolated store with its own encryption key. PAN, Aadhaar, bank details and salary are encrypted at rest. Every access is written to an audit trail your own auditor can read, and export or deletion happens on demand.

What we will not claim

A payroll engine has to see salary data to compute tax, so nobody running one can honestly say they can never see it. What we can say: isolated per company, encrypted at rest, logged for you to audit, never pushed into your employees' mailboxes. TDS certificates come from TRACES, where they are authoritative — we do not issue a second opinion that could disagree with your filed return.

Run a month before you decide

Set up one company, load your people, run a payroll and read the reconciliation. That is the only honest test of a payroll system.
