Payroll software for Mumbai businesses — Indian compliance built in
Choosing payroll software in Mumbai comes down to one question: does it actually know Indian law? FastLegal was built for PF, ESIC, TDS Section 192, the Code on Wages 2019 and state rules — not adapted from a western product.
For Mumbai employers — BFSI headquarters, media and entertainment, pharma corporates and the country's densest SME base — that means salary structures that enforce the 50% basic floor, attendance and biometric integration, leave management, and statutory reports generated on every run. Maharashtra levies Professional Tax up to ₹2,500/year (₹200/month, ₹300 in February) — FastLegal deducts it automatically for Mumbai employees.

Maharashtra compliance, handled
