Payroll Management Software with Tally Integration
Salary that starts from real attendance, not a sheet someone filled in on the 30th. iPresent works out pay with your rules, gives payslips, prepares statutory reports and sends the entries to Tally.
iPresent payroll is for Indian businesses that keep their books in Tally and are tired of the monthly scramble between attendance, Excel and the accountant. Verified attendance, leave and overtime from the iPresent app become the input for salary. Pay is worked out with the rules you set, payslips go to employees and the salary entries go into Tally, so the books and the payroll match.
Payroll and compliance are part of the Tally integrated plan, which you add on top of your iPresent app plan. Infoways sets up the salary structures with you from our office in Mahape, Navi Mumbai, and connects your Tally, whether you are in Mumbai, Thane, Pune or anywhere in India.

Compliance
The Indian payroll rules iPresent reports on
Provident Fund is 12% of basic pay and DA from the employee, matched by the employer, and it is compulsory for most firms with 20 or more staff. ESI applies to employees earning up to Rs 21,000 a month, with a small share from the employee and a larger share from the employer. Both are paid monthly. Professional tax is set by each state; in Maharashtra it is capped at Rs 2,500 a year per employee and is cut from salary every month.
Gratuity is due when an employee leaves after five years of continuous service, worked out from last drawn salary and years served. Income tax on salary is deducted every month based on the employee’s regime and declarations. iPresent prepares reports for each of these from the same payroll run, so your accountant files from figures that match the payslips.
Two things catch small firms out. ESI and PF become due as soon as you cross the staff limits, not from the next financial year, so watch your headcount. And professional tax is different in every state, so a company with staff in Maharashtra and Karnataka has to deduct each state’s amount. Group-based salary structures by location help keep those apart.

Cost
What payroll with iPresent costs
You pay for an app plan per employee per year, one web login for whoever runs payroll at Rs 3,600 a year, and the Tally integration add-on at Rs 3,600 a year. For 80 employees on the Standard plan that works out to Rs 21,600 for app users, plus Rs 7,200 for the web login and Tally add-on, about Rs 28,800 a year before GST. Infoways will confirm the right base plan for you, and the pricing page shows all plans.
Honest Advice
When iPresent payroll is not the right fit
If your company does not use Tally, the payroll features are less useful, because the plan is built around posting entries into Tally. You can still use iPresent for attendance and export the reports to your payroll provider.
Software also does not replace your CA. iPresent prepares the PF, ESI, PT and tax figures, but someone still has to check declarations, file returns on time and keep up with rule changes. Use it to remove the copy-paste work, not the review.
Payroll, payslips and the statutory reports are part of the Tally integrated plan. You add the Tally integration add-on, Rs 3,600 a year, to your app plan.
Which Tally versions does it work with?
Infoways checks your Tally setup during the demo and confirms the connection before you commit. Tell us which version your accountant uses.
Does it calculate PF and ESI?
Yes. It prepares PF and ESI reports from each payroll run, along with professional tax, gratuity and income tax reports.
Can different branches have different salary structures?
Yes. Salary structures are group-based, so you can set them by department, role or location.
How does attendance affect salary?
Present days, approved leave, late marks and overtime from iPresent attendance are used directly in the salary calculation, so nobody copies numbers from the register.
Can employees see their payslips?
Yes. On the Tally plan, payslips appear in the employee app, so staff do not need to ask accounts for them.
What about salary advances?
Advances are reconciled in payroll, so what was given early is set off against what is due.
Should we stop using our CA?
No. iPresent cuts the manual work, but a CA or accountant should still review figures and file returns.
