Statutory deductions are P IT (income tax), EPF (employee provident fund), TDS (tax deducted at source), ESI (Employees' State Insurance) which are deducted according to the individual’s annual compensation and the state legislations.

An allowance is a fixed sum that a company may decide to pay its employees to cover additional expenses. For example travel allowance, overtime allowance, medical allowance, etc. All financial benefits that employer offers under the head “salaries” are taxable. Certain allowances are partially or fully exempted. Reimbursements are the amounts that a company pays back to its employees who may incur business-related expenses. For instance, many companies provide medical reimbursements where employees can claim the amount by presenting appropriate bills and proof of expenditure.

Payroll management can be outsourced, managed on our own or through software. But it is best when outsourced as it is cost-effective and saves time and money. Not to mention, the opportunity to closely work with the payroll specialists and financial experts who are well versed on the latest tax rules and compliances.
