AI in Payroll and compliance

AI prepares it. You approve it.

Changes to pay, people records and money are applied only after a person confirms them, and logged under their name.

Meet the AI agents

Payroll anomaly check

Before you lock, the payroll anomaly check compares the run with last month and flags big changes, missing attendance, unpaid leave, joiners and leavers, and negative pay.

Ask Kili

HR can ask Kili to summarise recent payroll runs, answer salary questions or add a salary component, which waits for your confirmation.

Payroll pre-run check

Before a run exists, it looks at the month, reconciles attendance, leave and joiners, and explains pay changes. It never locks payroll.

Filing prep

Peoplo.ai prepares the statutory files and reminds HR of due dates. A person downloads and submits them.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about Peoplo.ai for Indian companies.

Which Indian statutory deductions does Peoplo.ai handle?

Payroll in Peoplo.ai is designed to support provident fund (PF), ESI, professional tax and labour welfare fund by state, and TDS under the old and new regimes, with tax declarations and proofs, gratuity and the monthly statutory filing files.

How does loss of pay work?

Approved leave of an unpaid type reduces pay for that month. Pending leave doesn’t count. People who join or leave mid-month are prorated automatically.

Can we pay a bonus or a one-time deduction?

Yes. Open the payslip, add a one-time addition or deduction with a label and amount, and recalculate. You can also set a component by hand for that month.

Can a locked payroll run be changed?

No. A locked run is final, which protects your records. Corrections are made in the next month with a one-time item.

Has Peoplo.ai been updated for the new PF wage ceiling?

Yes. The PF wage ceiling of ₹25,000 a month applies from 17 September 2026, with September split between the old and new ceilings. Our PF guide explains the change.
