India-first HRMS & Payroll Software: Foundation for Every HR Process
Hire, pay and grow your people on one platform built for Indian companies. NeevHR is fully AI enabled, with AI inside each module and not only a chat.
- PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS built in, not added on
- Set up and run by your own HR team
- AI suggests on the screen, and a person decides
A sample chat. An employee asks for a day of casual leave, checks the request and confirms it. A payroll admin asks why payroll cannot be released and is told who must approve it.
What is NeevHR?
NeevHR is an India-first HRMS and payroll software platform for growing and mid-market businesses. HR, payroll, finance, managers and employees work from one employee record, with Indian statutory rules such as PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS built into payroll.
It covers employee management, attendance, leave, payroll with PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, recruitment and performance, among more than 30 modules.
Who it is for: HRMS for 100 to 5,000+ employees
Indian organisations of roughly 100 to several thousand employees that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected HR tools. It is built for India only.

Unify people, pay and processes, without the silos
More than 30 modules share one employee record, so a change made once flows everywhere it belongs. Three of them below.
Run payroll accurately, every single cycle
Attendance, leave and salary inputs flow into a run that moves from compute to verify, approve and publish, and the person who computed a run cannot approve it. PF with the ₹25,000 wage ceiling, ESI on gross up to ₹21,000, state PT, LWF and TDS are calculated in the same run, with an audit trail behind every change.
- Configurable pay structures assigned to employee groups
- LOP, arrears and loan EMIs flow in automatically
- Bank files, salary register, ECR, challans, Form 24Q and Form 16
Turn every punch into a payroll-ready day
Capture attendance from biometric devices and the web, apply your shift and grace rules, and close each day into numbers payroll can trust. Regularisation and overtime are approved in the same inbox as everything else.
- Biometric punches over the ADMS push protocol
- Configurable day-close, grace and overtime rules
- Pay-at-risk surfaces before payroll runs
Reviews, calibration and increments on one record
Set weighted goals, gather 360 feedback, and review talent on a 9-box grid and a rating distribution curve. Final sign-off maps straight to increment and bonus decisions, with the right authority at every step.
- Weighted goals with a 100% validator
- 360 feedback, 9-box and rating distribution
- Ratings reprice increments at final sign-off
AI inside each module, not only in a chat
It works on the screen where the work happens, and every result is a labelled suggestion. These are sample screens, with sample names and figures.
Resume match
It never rejects or moves a candidate. The recruiter decides.
Payroll change explanation
It never changes, holds or releases a run.
Expense receipt reading
The person checks and changes it. Nothing is submitted by itself.
A switch per module
NeevHR switches a module's AI on for your company, and your AI admin can turn it off. With it off, the screen is the normal complete screen, with no empty box and no prompt.
AI suggests, a person decides
It never rejects, approves, pays or changes a record by itself. Every result is labelled as an AI suggestion, with the date it was made.
No repeat call for unchanged data
The same record with the same input never calls the model twice. The stored result is reused at no charge, and nothing calls the model when a page opens.
The same role permissions
AI text shows only to someone who may already open the record and the fields it was built from. Disciplinary and POSH have no AI.
Prepaid credits
AI runs on credits your company buys. When they finish, stored results still show, no new run starts, and the feature keeps working without AI.
Your Company Admin decides who gets the assistant, and a usage report shows credits used by person and department, never what anyone asked. It reads only what the person's role can open on screen.
Built for the way India runs HR
The depth to run payroll and compliance at scale, with the clarity of a modern platform, and none of the cost, consultants or year-long rollout of a tier-one suite.
Built for India, only India
PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 live in the core, not a country pack bolted on, with state-wise PT and LWF tables.
One employee record, effective-dated
Every promotion, transfer and pay change is a dated event. Nothing is overwritten, so payroll, reports and org charts run as they stood on any date.
Configured by your HR admin
Leave, attendance, pay, expense and appraisal rules, approval chains and custom fields are settings assigned to employee groups. No code and no consultant.
Hindi for employees
Every self-service page and the mobile app are in Hindi, and the AI assistant replies in Hindi or Gujarati. Admin screens are in English.
| What matters | NeevHR | Tier-one suites | Point tools |

| Go live | Guided, run by your own HR team | Long, consultant-led projects | Quick, but limited |
| Configured by | Your trained HR admin | Certified consultant | Limited options |

How does NeevHR handle India statutory compliance?
PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS are calculated in every payroll run, and the filing outputs are generated from it: PF ECR, the ESIC contribution file, challans, the Form 24Q return file and Form 16. Statutory tables are configurable, so a rate change is a settings update, not a code change.
- Provident Fund (PF) and ECR
- Employees' State Insurance (ESI)
- Professional Tax (PT)
- Labour Welfare Fund (LWF)
- TDS, Form 24Q and Form 16
- Gratuity & statutory bonus
- Full & final settlement
- DPDP Act 2023
Built to the rules published by EPFO, ESIC, the Income Tax Department and the DPDP Act 2023. India payroll →

What our customers say
“We wanted an HR system that fits how an Indian company really runs, not one we had to bend ourselves around. What surprised us most was the configuration. Leave rules, attendance, payroll components and approval workflows are all set up by our own team, without code or consultants. We haven’t seen that level of control in any HR software before. And it’s simple to use. The screens are clean, everything is where you expect it, and our employees started using it from day one without any training.”
