Chapter 2 of 6 · Payroll & Statutory

Loans, advances & reimbursements in payroll

Issue a salary advance or loan and let EMIs auto-deduct from future runs.


Money owed to or by an employee can be settled through payroll instead of a separate transfer.

Set up a loan or advance

  1. 1Go to App → Payroll → Loans.
  2. 2Record the principal, the EMI amount and the start period.
  3. 3The EMI is auto-deducted from each subsequent run until the loan is cleared.

Reimbursements in payroll

Approved expense reimbursements can be routed into the payroll run as a non-taxable payout line, so employees are repaid alongside salary.

Tip: All of these are applied as post-engine adjustments — the core statutory engine is untouched, so PF/ESI/TDS stay correct.
