Many Indian businesses now pay three kinds of people every month: salaried employees, contract labour supplied through an agency, and independent gig workers paid per delivery, visit, shift or task. Standard payroll software assumes everyone is an employee on a monthly salary. Gig payouts end up in spreadsheets, TDS is calculated separately, and nobody can easily see the total cost of the workforce.
We build payout and payroll systems that treat each worker type correctly. Employees get salary with PF, ESI and professional tax. Independent workers are paid on completed work with TDS applied where required. Agency staff are tracked against contractor invoices. Everything reconciles to one ledger.
The problem this solves
!
Payouts in spreadsheets
Per-task rates, incentives and penalties calculated by hand every week.
!
Compliance mixed up
Statutory deductions applied to the wrong worker type, or missed entirely.
!
Disputes about earnings
Workers can't see how their payout was calculated, so support teams field the same questions.

Frequently asked questions
Do PF and ESI apply to gig workers?+
PF and ESI generally apply to employees, not to genuinely independent contractors. India's Code on Social Security, 2020 brings gig and platform workers under a separate social-security framework funded largely by aggregators. Confirm the currently notified rules and your workers' classification with your compliance advisor; the software applies whatever rules you configure.
Is TDS deducted on gig worker payouts?+
It can be, depending on the nature of the payment and thresholds under the Income-tax Act. The system lets you configure the applicable sections and rates per worker category.
Can workers be paid weekly or daily?+
Yes. Pay cycles are configurable per worker type — daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Can it connect to our existing app?+
Yes. We integrate with your delivery, booking or field-service platform through its API or database exports to pull completed work.
Does it handle professional tax?+
Yes, for salaried employees, using the slabs of the state where they work.
