“With Keka, manual dependency was reduced a lot. For example, when I started running payroll as an HR, I had the option to add comments for different entries and transactions. In the later months, when an audit was being carried out by new accountants, they did not get back to me asking for details of these transactions because the comments had given them complete clarity.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is payroll compliance software and why does it matter?

Payroll compliance software automates statutory deductions (PF, ESI, TDS, PT), filings, and reporting. It eliminates manual errors, reduces penalty risk, and ensures every payroll cycle meets Indian labor and tax laws without requiring in-house compliance expertise.

What are the key payroll tax compliance requirements in India?

Indian payroll tax compliance covers TDS deduction and 24Q/26Q quarterly filings, Form 16 issuance, PF/ESI contributions, state-wise Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, and gratuity provisions, all governed by the Income Tax Act and various labor laws.

How does automated payroll compliance software reduce compliance risk?

Automated systems apply the latest statutory rules at every payroll run, validate data before processing, generate audit-ready reports, and flag anomalies. This dramatically reduces the risk of misfiled returns, incorrect deductions, or missed deadlines that result in penalties.

What should enterprises look for in global payroll compliance software?

Look for multi-country statutory support, automatic regulatory updates, multi-entity management, audit trails, role-based access, and certified security standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2). Integration with HR and finance systems and strong local support are also essential for global operations.

What compliance laws does Keka cover for India payroll?

Keka covers all major India payroll compliance requirements including PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS, LWF, gratuity, and labour law returns across all 28 states and 8 union territories for both single-entity and multi-entity enterprises.

How does Keka stay updated with changing compliance regulations?

Keka’s compliance team monitors regulatory changes and pushes updates to the platform automatically. Customers receive updated statutory slabs, contribution rates, and filing formats without any manual intervention, ensuring continuous compliance without IT dependency.

Are statutory documents like Form 16 digitally signed in Keka?

Yes. Keka generates digitally signed Form 16 (Form 130 under IT Rules 2026) for every employee in one click at year end. Documents are error-free, audit-ready, and accessible to employees directly via self-service on web or mobile.

How does Keka handle compliance for multi-entity enterprises?
