Salary is cash out
It should sit beside purchase bills, not in a WhatsApp folder of slips.

What it is
What is payroll software for small business in TiBook?
Payroll software for a shop or studio is staff, attendance, a monthly run, and a slip you can hand or email. TiBook Payroll lives on SMB (₹199/month) next to billing — not a second login.
We do not file EPFO, ESIC, or professional tax returns. You run payroll, pay salary (cash or bank), and keep the slip. Statutory challans stay with your CA or the government portals.
Payroll is SMB. No PF/ESI e-filing. No biometric device pack. Startup remains free for invoices.
Why it matters
Why payroll next to GST books
Free invoice plans that hide payroll
Startup does not include payroll. That is honest packaging.
Statutory portals
EPFO and ESIC are government systems. We generate slips; we do not file those returns.
Attendance guesswork
Mark attendance so the month run is not a negotiation.
