Statutory filing assistant
Tells payroll what’s due (EPF, ESI, TDS, Form 138, PT, LWF) and records challans from their receipts.
How it works
The agent reads the compliance calendar and the filings already recorded, and briefs payroll on what is due, what is late and what still blocks the quarterly TDS return (Form 138). Give it a challan or acknowledgement and it reads the period and amounts and records the filing with the receipt as proof, after you confirm. Filing, paying and signing on government portals stay with you.
About 1 credit per brief or receipt
What it reads
- The compliance calendar and recorded filings
- The TDS return check (Form 138)
- Challans and acknowledgements you give it
When it starts
- When a payroll admin asks for the brief or uploads a receipt
What it can do
- Brief payroll on what’s due and what blocks the return
- Record a filing from a receipt (after you confirm)
What it never does
- File, pay or sign on a government portal
Safe by design
- Hired, not switched on. Your admin hires each agent from the catalogue and chooses who can use it.
- Agents propose, people confirm. Anything that changes data, like a leave request, waits for a person to confirm it.
- Same access as the user. An agent sees only what the person asking is allowed to see.
- AI processing in India. Agents run on models hosted in India (AWS Mumbai).
- Budgets and a hard stop. Set a monthly credit limit per agent; agents stop when credits run out.
- Every run recorded. Admins see each run, the credits it used and what it did.
