The monthly run

A payroll run you can sign off with confidence.

Every run moves through Draft, Review, Approved, Locked and Paid — and nothing reaches the bank file until the checks are clear.

  • About 20 checks before submission — duplicate bank accounts, IFSC format, big net-pay swings, people not on the rolls, ESI threshold crossings and the Labour Code 50% wage test.
  • Pay, hold, part-pay or void each joiner, exit, arrear, overtime and claim line.
  • Maker-checker approval by total, net-pay change or number of joiners — the approver can send it back.
  • Arrears from back-dated revisions are worked out for you, with arrear PF month by month.
  • After lock, roll back a single employee if you must; reopening the run needs the Owner.

Controls & audit

Salary data, handled like salary data.

Payroll is the most sensitive data a company holds. PayEFlow keeps who-sees-what and who-changed-what on the record.

  • Roles that stack — Employee, Manager, HR, Finance, Owner, Admin, Consultant and Compliance.
  • PAN and bank numbers masked for anyone without salary access; bank numbers encrypted; only the last four Aadhaar digits stored.
  • Nobody can approve their own request, and every rule change needs approval.
  • An audit trail of old → new values, IP address and downloads for each company.
  • Each company's data in its own database schema; accounts lock after repeated wrong passwords and sign out when idle.

PayEFlow questions, answered

Who is PayEFlow for?+
Indian companies that run their own payroll, and CA firms and payroll bureaus that run payroll for client companies. A CA firm runs its own staff payroll and every client's payroll from one login.
Does PayEFlow handle PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS?+
Yes. PF on ceiling or full wages (with EPS, EDLI and the reduced 10% rate) and an EPFO ECR 2.0 file; ESI contributions with threshold-crossing checks and an ESIC contribution file; Professional Tax slabs pre-loaded for Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Telangana, Gujarat and Punjab, with slabs addable for other states; and salary TDS under Sec 392. PF and ESI can be switched off for companies they don't apply to.
Is PayEFlow updated for the Income-tax Act 2025?+
Yes. PayEFlow uses the new section and form numbers: Sec 392 for salary TDS, Form 124 for employee declarations (old 12BB), Form 130 for the salary TDS certificate (old Form 16) and Form 138 for quarterly salary TDS data (old 24Q). Consultants follow Sec 393, Form 131 and Form 140.
Can a CA firm run payroll for many client companies?+
Yes. Sign up as a CA firm or payroll bureau, add each client in one step, and see every client's payroll status for the month on one page. Give your staff HR, Admin, Finance or Compliance access on chosen clients or all of them.
Can employees download their own payslips and Form 130?+
Yes. Every employee gets a self-service login for payslips, Form 130, tax declarations and proofs, leave, expenses, documents, letters and their salary ledger. Payslip PDFs are protected with the employee's PAN and date of birth.
Do I need FirmEFlow to use PayEFlow?+
No. PayEFlow works on its own. If you also use FirmEFlow for practice management, one sign-in covers both and the apps button switches between them.
How do we move our employees and history in?+
Employees, salary revisions, opening leave balances, holidays and monthly inputs import from Excel, each with a preview before it's applied and an undo afterwards.
How much does PayEFlow cost?+
PayEFlow is priced on request. Talk to sales with your headcount and whether you run payroll for clients, and we'll send a quote.
