Key capabilities

What expenses does in NeevHR

Claims & receipts

Employees submit claims with receipts; approvers sanction, return or reject.

Policy checks

Per-category caps, submission windows and pre-approval, with a recorded override for breaches.

Separation of duties

Approve and reimburse are separate permissions; the payer is never the approver.

Advances

Issue and settle cash advances, netting against claims or recovering via payroll.

Travel advance

Advances with a trip limit, adjusted on claim approval, with statement, ageing, bulk pay and recovery in F&F.

Mileage and per diem

Mileage rates, per diem by grade and location, and GST on bills.

Spend analytics

Spend by category, month and department, top claimants, policy breaks and approval speed.

AI receipt reading

When switched on, the amount, date, vendor and category are read from an uploaded bill, with a warning if it may already be claimed. The person checks it before submitting.

Unusual claim flags

The person deciding sees a flag when a claim is far from the person's own history or peers, comes unusually often, or is split on one day. Flags never block, and the claimant does not see them.

Built on the NeevHR platform

Expenses does not run in a silo

Like every module, it sits on one effective-dated employee record, with India's statutory rules, configuration and governance shared across the platform.

Built for India, only India

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 are part of the core product, not an add-on. INR and the India financial year throughout.

Depth without the drag

Process discipline and statutory accuracy for growing and mid-market companies, without the cost or the multi-year rollout of a tier-one suite.

A guided go-live

Implementation time depends on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.

Configured by your HR admin

Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets assigned to employee groups. A trained HR admin can own them, no certified consultant required.

Expenses: frequently asked questions

Are expenses paid through payroll?

Approved, unsettled claims are picked up by the next payroll automatically, or they can be settled separately and marked reimbursed.
