The control layer your payroll does not have.

Payroll runs every month whether or not it is right. The controls that catch a wrong wage base, a missed contribution, or a challan generated and never paid, sit outside the payroll software — and in most businesses they do not exist.

Requirements vary by entity type, location, industry, workforce size, contractor use, and applicable law. Every engagement begins with a compliance applicability assessment.

What we do not do

  • We are not a payroll processing bureau and do not run your salary disbursement. We work with your existing payroll system or vendor.
  • Tax advice on salary structuring is provided by the CA partner, not by NidhiSetu.
Field notes / FAQ

Questions employers actually ask

Will you replace our payroll vendor? +
No. Your vendor computes and disburses; we verify that what was computed matches what the statute requires, and that what was due was actually filed and paid. The two roles are different, and a vendor auditing its own output is not a control.
What is the risk in our salary structure? +
The recurring one is allowance components that are universally paid and not linked to any contingency, which are vulnerable to being treated as part of wages for PF purposes. If that treatment is applied, contributions increase prospectively and potentially retrospectively. The structure review identifies which of your components carry that exposure, so the decision is taken deliberately rather than discovered later.
How do you track proof of payment? +
A per-month, per-statute register carrying the challan reference, the amount, the payment date, the bank reference and the filed receipt, with the source document attached. It is the artefact an inspection or a due-diligence exercise asks for first, and the thing most often assembled retrospectively under pressure.
Can this cover multiple entities? +
Yes — the calendar and tracker are built per entity per state, which is the level obligations actually attach at. Group-level roll-up views sit on top of that, not instead of it.
