Introduction

India Payroll is an open-source Frappe HR extension app that automates statutory payroll deductions and compliance reporting for Indian businesses.

Why India Payroll?

Running payroll in India means complying with multiple overlapping statutory obligations. Doing this manually inside salary structure formulas is fragile and hard to maintain.

India Payroll takes a different approach:

• Zero formula changes — all deductions are injected via before_save hooks on the Salary Slip. Your salary structures stay clean.
• Single toggle to activate — enable each deduction type from Payroll Settings → India Payroll tab.
• State-aware — rules are driven by the employment_state field on Salary Structure Assignment, not hard-coded in structures.
• Auditable — each deduction appears as a named salary component on the slip, visible to HR and employees alike.
