Zoho Payroll

Zoho Payroll brings employee and contractor payments into a shared payroll workflow. Organizations can onboard contractors, assign reporting managers, upload documents and track contract end dates. The system applies contractor TDS under Section 194C or 194J according to contractor category. Employees and contractors can be processed together, with separate off-cycle contractor payouts also available. Payment methods include cheque, cash, manual transfer and direct deposit. Contractors can access payslips and payment history through a self-service portal, while reports cover contractor payouts, project costs and overall spend. Contractor Payroll is included at no additional cost from the Standard plan. Zoho Payroll runs on Android, iOS and the web, and lists integrations including Zoho Books, Zoho People, Zoho Expense, HSBC, ICICI Bank and WhatsApp Business. The Free plan is free for up to 10 employees with basic payroll. Standard is ₹1,000 a month billed annually per organization and includes 25 employees and Contractor Payroll. A 14-day trial provides paid-product benefits; an upgrade is required afterward to continue.
