Compliance sits downstream of payroll. Every filing and every register is derived from a disbursed payroll cycle, which is itself derived from attendance. Nothing here is entered by hand unless you deliberately override it. Compliance in the admin console.

​
What is covered

Monthly filings

Provident Fund, Employees’ State Insurance, Professional Tax and quarterly TDS (Form 24Q).

Form 16

Annual tax certificates, generated per employee and distributed to their document vault.

Statutory registers

The five registers, generated per month with a status you can act on.

Compliance bundle

All five registers plus a filings summary, zipped for a period.

​
The monthly rhythm

1

Disburse the payroll cycle

Filings are derived from what was actually paid. Generating before disbursement gives you numbers from an unfinished month.
2

Generate the month's filings

OnTime derives Provident Fund, Employees’ State Insurance and Professional Tax for the month, and the TDS filing for the quarter, from the disbursed payslips.
3

Review and, if necessary, override

Amounts are derived by default. An override is available for the cases where reality and the derivation disagree, and it is audited.
4

File externally, then mark as Filed

OnTime does not submit to any government portal. You file through the relevant portal and record the acknowledgement reference here.
5

Generate the registers

The five statutory registers for the month, stored with a row count and a timestamp.

​
Due dates

Filings carry a due date derived from the period — the fifteenth of the following month for the monthly filings. The compliance home page and the admin dashboard both surface approaching and overdue deadlines.

​
Permissions

Both sit with the HR and Admin presets.

What OnTime does not do

There is no e-filing integration. OnTime derives the numbers, produces the documents and records what you filed. It does not submit anything to EPFO, ESIC, a state Professional Tax portal, or TRACES. “Mark as filed” records an acknowledgement reference you type in.The statutory reference data is a seeded snapshot. Professional Tax bands cover a subset of states, income tax slabs cover one financial year and the New regime only. There is no screen for maintaining them.Two steps of the Form 16 pipeline require a vendor. Fetching Part A from TRACES and applying a digital signature both go through adapters that need third-party credentials. See Form 16.
