Automating TDS and Payroll Compliance for Indian IT Agencies
Indian IT agencies usually run two workforces at once: employees and contractors.
That creates recurring compliance work. You need to keep payroll, contractor payouts, and filing deadlines in sync.
Smart Dhandha helps by putting those workflows inside one system.
Contractor payouts
Contractors can log work and the organization can approve it.
Once work is approved, the system can generate a payment request as a draft bill. That keeps the billing flow connected to the actual work that was approved.
Employee payroll
For employees, Smart Dhandha keeps the core payroll flow together:
- salary structure
- leave impact
- reimbursements
- manual TDS values
- payroll runs and payslips
That reduces the need to bounce between separate HR and accounting tools.
Compliance visibility
The filings workspace helps founders track statutory work such as:
- TDS
- professional tax
- PF
- ESIC
It is a tracking and control layer, not just a spreadsheet replacement.
Why this is worth doing
When HR and finance live apart, month-end gets messy.
When they live together, the team can move faster and make fewer mistakes.
