Managing payroll is one of the most critical functions in any organization. It involves more than just calculating employee salaries—it requires timely deductions, statutory compliance, accurate tax filings, and secure record-keeping. For HR teams, finance professionals, and business owners, manual payroll processing can become overwhelming and error-prone. That’s where Computax Payroll Software becomes an indispensable tool, offering a complete, automated, and compliant payroll management system tailored for Indian businesses.
Created by Computax, a reputed name in Indian taxation software, this Payroll module is designed to simplify payroll operations for organizations of all sizes. From salary computation and TDS deduction to Form 16 generation and compliance reporting, Computax handles every aspect of payroll with reliability and precision.
1. Complete Payroll Lifecycle Management
Computax Payroll Software is engineered to handle every step of the payroll lifecycle, including:
Employee database and master record management
Monthly salary generation
Overtime, incentives, and bonus tracking
PF, ESI, PT, and TDS deductions
Payslip and Form 16/16AA generation
Compliance-ready reports
Users can define multiple salary structures based on departments, roles, or grades. Once configured, the software automatically calculates monthly payouts and applicable deductions for each employee with just a few clicks.
2. Statutory Compliance Made Simple
Payroll processing is closely linked to Indian statutory obligations. Non-compliance with Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), Professional Tax (PT), or Income Tax regulations can lead to serious penalties.
Computax Payroll Software is updated with the latest government rules and automates:
PF & ESI calculations and report generation
TDS deduction and return preparation (Form 24Q)
Professional Tax by state
Generation of Form 16 and Form 16A
With built-in checks, the software ensures every deduction is computed accurately and reported on time—keeping your organization compliant year-round.
3. Employee Master Records and Attendance Integration
A comprehensive employee master record is the foundation of accurate payroll. Computax allows you to store all necessary information for each employee, including:
Personal details
Salary structure
Bank account and PAN details
Tax declarations and investment proofs
Attendance and leave records (manual or integrated)
The software supports integration with biometric attendance systems, making it easy to compute payable days, leave deductions, and overtime earnings. Real-time updates ensure no delay or manual miscalculation.
4. TDS Calculation and Form 16 Generation
Income tax calculations vary depending on an employee’s salary, declarations, and exemptions. Computax Payroll Software automatically applies the correct tax slabs, calculates TDS monthly, and adjusts based on the investment declarations or Form 12BB inputs submitted by the employee.
At the end of the financial year, the software:
Generates accurate Form 16 with Part A and Part B
Merges TRACES data for certification
Allows bulk digital signing of Form 16
Supports direct emailing to employees
This feature greatly simplifies the year-end tax process for HR and finance teams while ensuring employees receive their tax documents on time.
5. Payslip Generation and Employee Access
Monthly payslips can be generated with a single click, reflecting the complete salary breakup including earnings, deductions, TDS, and net payable. These payslips can be printed or emailed in bulk, and include company branding if required.
Optional employee self-service modules allow staff to:
View/download payslips
Check tax deductions
Submit investment declarations
View leave balances and history
This transparency improves trust, reduces queries, and boosts overall employee satisfaction.

Computax generates comprehensive payroll reports that help in internal reviews, audits, and statutory filings. These include:
Salary register
Department-wise salary summaries
TDS deduction reports
PF/ESI contribution summaries
