The short answer
ZoopCoder configures Zoho Payroll for up to 25 employees for a fixed ₹3,499, setting up one salary structure, PF/ESI/PT statutory components and one pay schedule, delivered in 4-5 working days. Zoho's India pricing page shows the Free plan covers up to 10 employees with PF, ESI and state Professional Tax compliance but only pre-defined salary components, while custom earnings and deductions, salary templates and statutory bonus need the Standard plan at ₹1,250 a month (₹1,000 billed annually) for 25 employees, so the plan you sign up on decides what salary structure can be built. Getting PF, ESI and Professional Tax configured correctly for your state is the part that actually blocks a first pay run, and this service covers exactly that setup, on top of an already-configured Zoho People account if you have one.
What you get
- Zoho Payroll account configured under your own login (new signup or an existing blank account)
- One salary structure built (Basic, HRA, allowances, deductions as you specify — custom components need Zoho's Standard plan; on the Free plan we use Zoho's pre-defined components)
- PF, ESI and Professional Tax (one state) configured to statutory rates
- Employee salary details imported — up to 25 employees
- One pay schedule set up (monthly, with your payroll cut-off date)
- Payslip template configured with your company details and logo
- A short walkthrough of running your first pay run, over WhatsApp

About this service
Zoho Payroll needs PF, ESI and Professional Tax configured correctly before it can run a single payslip, and Professional Tax rules change by state — which is the part that most self-setup attempts get stuck on. Which plan you are on also shapes the structure: on Zoho's Free plan you can only use pre-defined salary components, and custom earnings and deductions arrive with the Standard plan, so we check your CTC breakup against the plan before building anything. We set up one salary structure against your actual CTC breakup, wire in the statutory components for your registered state, and hand you a payroll that is ready for your next cycle. This is a separate Zoho product from Zoho People — People handles leave and attendance, Payroll handles salary — and the two can run independently of each other; if you already have People set up, we link the employee records so you are not entering the same names twice. We configure the software correctly; whether your PF/ESI registration itself is compliant, and filing your statutory returns, stays with your CA.
Questions before you buy
Do I need Zoho People set up first?
No — Zoho Payroll works standalone. If you already run Zoho People, we link the two so employee records are not duplicated, but it is not a requirement.
Does this include filing PF, ESI or TDS returns?
No — we configure the software so PF, ESI and Professional Tax calculate correctly on every payslip; filing the actual returns is your accountant or CA's job.
What if my team is spread across more than one state?
Professional Tax rules are state-specific, so this covers one state; a second state's PT rules are quoted per additional state.
Can you run our first payroll for us?
We walk you through running it live over WhatsApp so you can see it work, but you run it — that keeps you in control of approving your own payroll.
What if I have more than 25 employees?
Quoted per additional 25 — tell us your rough headcount before ordering so we can confirm turnaround. Zoho itself charges ₹50 a month (₹40 on annual billing) for each employee beyond the 25 included in Standard.
Can I run Zoho Payroll free?
Yes, up to 10 employees. Zoho's India pricing page lists the Free plan as free forever for that headcount, with automatic payroll calculation, payslips, and compliance for income tax, EPF, ESI, state PT and LWF, plus email support. It stops at pre-defined salary components, so a custom CTC breakup needs the Standard plan.
Which Zoho Payroll plan do I need for custom salary components?
Standard. Custom earning and deduction components, salary templates, loans and advances, statutory bonus and ICICI Bank salary payments are listed as additions over the Free plan, which is why we confirm your salary structure against the plan before configuring.
