What Is Payroll Processing and Management?

Definition: End-to-end salary computation, disbursement, and reporting: gross pay, statutory deductions (PF/ESI/TDS), net pay, bank transfer, payslips, statutory returns, and annual compliance - under EPF Act, ESI Act, IT Act 2025, Payment of Wages Act, and Delhi S&E Act.

CA-managed vs software: Payroll software automates calculations. CA-managed payroll = CA-supervised every run, CA-signed every filing, CA-reviewed every exception. Compliance ownership, not just calculation.

See Accounting Services for general accounting.

Delhi tip: Delhi has NO Professional Tax - a significant advantage. But VDA minimum wages are revised half-yearly (April + October). Non-compliance with VDA = back-wages + Labour Commissioner prosecution. Patron tracks both the PT-free advantage and VDA-update obligation. See Accounting Services.
