/ 01 — Who it's for

For companies who've already
done the entity work.

If you've already incorporated in India, you don't need EOR. What you need is the payroll engine without the legal employment layer.

GCC

Global Capability Centres

You stood up an Indian subsidiary for IP, transfer pricing, or scale reasons. Now you need a payroll engine that handles 28-state compliance without growing an internal team.

SCALED HIRING

Scaled past the EOR crossover

You crossed 25-plus India employees and made the call to have your own entity. The economics now favour Payroll Only over per-employee EOR fees.

MIGRATING

Leaving a CA-run payroll

Your current provider is a traditional CA firm running payroll on Excel and emailing payslips. You want dashboards, automated filings, and a real software product.

ENTERPRISE

Switching from a generic payroll vendor

You're on a global payroll platform that treats India as one of 50 countries. State-level compliance is breaking and support is slow. Time to move to an India specialist.

/ 02 — What's included

Six things every
payroll cycle ships with.

Same engine that powers Omnivoo EOR. The only difference is the legal employer is your entity, not ours.

01 MONTHLY

Gross-to-net processing

Full gross-to-net calculation for every employee with state-specific deductions, allowances, reimbursements, and statutory components configured per role.

02 TDS / 24Q

Tax computation & returns

TDS computed under both regimes, deposited monthly, quarterly Form 24Q returns filed, annual Form 16 issued to every employee. All under your entity's PAN.

03 PF / ESIC

Statutory contributions

Employer and employee shares of PF (12%) and ESIC (3.25% employer / 0.75% employee) computed and deposited with EPFO and ESIC every cycle.

04 28 STATES

State-level compliance

Professional Tax slabs, Labour Welfare Fund contributions, and Shops & Establishments compliance applied automatically based on the employee's work location.

05 EVERY EMP

Payslips & Form 16

Detailed monthly payslips with full breakdown delivered securely. Annual Form 16 generated and issued to every employee for their tax filing.

06 AI MONITORED

Anomaly detection

Every payroll run is scanned for misconfigurations, missing deductions, and outliers before approval. You see the exceptions; we explain them.

/ 03 — How it works

Migration in a week.
First clean cycle in two.

We always run one parallel cycle alongside your current provider before cutover, so both sides verify the numbers match. Zero surprises.

01
5–7 DAYS

Migrate & configure

Import employee master data, salary structures, YTD figures, and statutory codes. Configure your PF/ESIC employer codes, GST registration, and Professional Tax registrations.

02
CYCLE 1

Parallel run

We process one full payroll cycle in parallel with your current provider. Compare gross, net, TDS, PF, ESI line by line. Mismatches flagged and resolved before cutover.

03
CYCLE 2+

Live on Omnivoo

Cutover happens on cycle 2. Every subsequent cycle runs fully on Omnivoo — automated calculations, filings, payslips, and dashboards. You approve, we ship.

/ 04 — Pricing

Volume discounts
built into the price.

Tiered per-employee pricing — the more people you run payroll for, the lower the per-employee rate. Plus a flat $99 one-time setup fee for data migration. Minimum team size 5, minimum monthly fee $200.

Scope clarification

What Payroll Only does not cover.

Because you are the legal employer (this is your entity, your PAN, your team), these stay on your side. For full-stack employer-of-record where Omnivoo absorbs all of this, see EOR.

  • Employment contracts You manage drafting and execution.
  • Legal employer liability Termination disputes, harassment claims, statutory exposure — yours.
  • Onboarding & offboarding workflows Add to your HRIS or run manually.
  • Gratuity provisioning Actuarial valuation and balance-sheet provisioning are your accountant's job.
/ 05 — FAQ

Common questions.

What heads of HR and finance ask before migrating their India payroll to Omnivoo.

How does the tiered pricing work? +

It's per employee per month with volume discounts that kick in automatically as your team grows. 5–9 employees is $49/employee. 10–24 employees drops to $39 (~20% off). 25–49 employees drops further to $29 (~41% off vs base). 50+ employees moves to a custom quote. The discount applies to your whole team — no manual approval, no negotiation. Plus a one-time $99 setup fee, and a $200/month floor that only matters if you have very few employees.

What is the $99 setup fee for, and is it really one-time? +

Yes, one-time. The $99 covers data migration from your current provider (employee records, salary structures, YTD figures, statutory PF/ESIC/PT/TDS history), engine configuration for your entity's PAN and state mix, and one parallel payroll run alongside your current provider so we both verify the numbers match before cutover. After that, no setup-related charges ever again.

Why is there a $200 minimum monthly fee? +

It only applies if your headcount is small enough that the per-employee math falls below $200 — for example, 5 employees at $49 each is $245/month, so the minimum doesn't bite. The floor exists because there's a fixed cost in running compliant Indian payroll for any team size (regulatory monitoring, filings, payslip generation infrastructure). At 5+ employees on our standard pricing, you almost never hit the floor.

Why is there a 5-employee minimum team size? +

Below 5 employees, the cost of running compliant payroll (state-by-state PT registrations, monthly PF/ESIC filings, quarterly Form 24Q, anomaly detection) doesn't economically scale down for us — we'd lose money. If you have fewer than 5 employees in India, our EOR product (without the minimum) is a better fit, or talk to our team about a sub-5 setup.

What's the difference between Payroll Only and EOR? +

EOR is when Omnivoo legally employs your team through our entity — we own the legal employer liability, contracts, and statutory exposure. Payroll Only is when you already have an Indian entity and just need us to run the payroll on your PAN. Same payroll engine, different legal relationship. Payroll Only is for companies that have already invested in an Indian subsidiary; EOR is for companies that haven't and don't want to. Payroll Only also doesn't include employment contracts, onboarding/offboarding workflows, or gratuity provisioning — those stay with you.

Do I need to switch payroll software? +

No. We migrate your existing employee records, salary structures, and YTD figures to our system. Your team logs into a new portal but their salary, benefits, and tax setup don't change. We do the migration in 5–7 business days end to end.

How is this different from a traditional CA-run payroll? +

Three things. First, our regulatory monitoring AI scans gazettes and EPFO/ESIC circulars daily so rule changes are reflected in your next payroll run within 48 hours — no quarterly catch-up. Second, every payslip generation runs anomaly detection so misconfigurations get flagged before approval. Third, your support contact is a senior payroll specialist with 3+ years of India experience, not a tier-1 helpdesk.

Which states do you cover? +

All 28 states. Each state's Professional Tax slabs, Labour Welfare Fund cadence, and Shops & Establishments rules are encoded in the engine. A hire in Karnataka, Maharashtra, or West Bengal is processed correctly out of the box — no manual workarounds.

Can you handle complex cases like ESOP perquisite tax or F&F settlements? +

Yes. ESOP perquisite tax under Section 17(2)(vi), full and final settlements with all six components (notice pay, leave encashment, gratuity, bonus pro-rata, ESOP vesting, statutory recovery), maternity benefit calculations, and one-off bonuses are all handled. If your case is unusual, our payroll ops lead reviews it personally before the run.

How fast can we go live? +

Typical migration is 5–7 business days from signed contract to first parallel run. We do one parallel payroll cycle alongside your current provider so we both verify the numbers match before the cutover. After cutover, every cycle is fully on Omnivoo.
