TankhaPay alternatives by what you need

How to choose a TankhaPay alternative

  • Ask the vendor to run a live payroll for a sample employee in your state and show the PF, ESI and PT working. If they cannot, move on.
  • Check minimum billing. Many products price per employee with a floor of 25–100 employees, which changes the economics for small teams.
  • Look at how investment declarations, proofs and Form 16 are handled — that is the most painful month of the year for HR.
