AI Payroll Software — Run Payroll by Just Asking

Avani's role-based AI drafts payroll on your own data, applies PF, ESI, TDS & PT automatically, and flags errors before you pay. ₹29/employee/month.

Quick answer

Avani AI Payroll runs on your company's own salary and attendance data — ask the assistant to run payroll and it drafts the run for you to approve.

The AI answers pay questions in plain English: "what is Ravi's net pay this month" or "why did TDS increase" — with role-based access so employees only see their own figures.

PF (12% + 12%), ESI (0.75% + 3.25% on gross ≤ ₹21,000), Professional Tax slabs, and TDS under Section 192 are calculated automatically in every run.

Included in Avani Business OS at ₹29/employee/month — no separate AI add-on, no per-run charge, no setup fee.

Features

Run Payroll by Just Asking

Type "run payroll for June" and the assistant assembles the run from your attendance, leave, and salary data, then shows you the draft. You review and approve — the AI never disburses without your sign-off.

Ask Any Payroll Question

"How much did we pay in PF last quarter?" or "who has a salary revision pending?" — the AI reads your real payroll data and answers instantly, so finance stops digging through spreadsheets.

Automatic Statutory Math

Every run computes PF at 12% employee + 12% employer, ESI at 0.75% + 3.25% for gross wages up to ₹21,000, state-wise Professional Tax, and monthly TDS under Section 192 — no manual formulas.

AI-Drafted Salary Slips

Slips generate with your letterhead, CIN, PAN, and ESIC number. Ask "resend the salary slip for Priya" and the assistant does it — no navigating menus, no re-uploading templates.

Anomaly Detection Before You Pay

The AI flags a doubled net pay, a missing PF deduction, or an employee marked present all month with zero leave — surfacing errors before disbursement instead of after an angry email.

One Login, No Separate Payroll Tool

Attendance, leave, and payroll live in the same workspace, so the AI has full context. No exporting CSVs between systems, no reconciling a payroll vendor against your HRMS.

Key benefits

How it works

  1. Connect Your Salary Structures — Import employees with their basic, HRA, DA, and allowances via CSV or add them manually. Set each person's PF, ESI, and PT applicability once. The AI works only on this data — your own numbers, never generic estimates.
  2. Ask the Assistant to Run Payroll — At month end, tell the AI to prepare the run. It pulls attendance and approved leave, applies statutory deductions, and produces a draft with per-employee net pay and a total disbursement figure for you to check.
  3. Review, Approve, and Disburse — You see every flagged anomaly and can ask "why is this amount different from last month" before approving. Once approved, salary slips are generated and a bank-ready file is exported for payment.

Frequently asked questions

What does "AI payroll software" mean?

It means a role-based assistant sits on top of your payroll module. You can ask it to run payroll, explain a deduction, or pull a report in plain English, and it acts on your company's own salary and attendance data. It drafts the run and answers questions, but a human always approves before any money moves.

Does the AI disburse salaries on its own?

No. The assistant prepares the payroll run and flags anomalies, but disbursement always requires explicit human approval. It is designed to remove the manual assembly and math, not to remove your control over payments. You review the draft, check flagged items, and approve.

Is AI payroll accurate for Indian deductions?

Yes. Every run calculates Provident Fund at 12% employee plus 12% employer on basic wages, ESI at 0.75% employee plus 3.25% employer on gross wages up to ₹21,000 per month, Professional Tax per your state slab, and TDS on salary under Section 192 of the Income Tax Act. The AI applies these rules to your configured salary structures.

What payroll questions can I ask?

You can ask things like "what is the total PF liability this month", "why did Ravi's net pay drop", "who has not been assigned a salary structure yet", or "show me employees with TDS above 20,000". The AI reads your live payroll data and answers, respecting the asker's role and permissions.

Can employees see other people's salaries?

No. The assistant enforces role-based access. An employee can only ask about their own pay, slips, and deductions. Managers see their team where permitted, and HR or finance admins see the full company. Sensitive salary data is never exposed beyond a person's role.

Do I need to buy the AI separately?

No. The AI assistant is included in Avani Business OS at ₹29/employee/month. There is no separate AI licence, no per-run fee, and no setup charge. The same subscription also covers attendance, leave, KPIs, and the rest of the HR suite the AI draws its context from.

How is this different from a payroll chatbot?

A bolted-on chatbot usually answers only from a help article. Avani's assistant is connected to your actual payroll, attendance, and leave data in the same system, so it can run real actions like preparing a payroll draft or resending a slip, and answer with your real numbers rather than generic FAQ text.
