How to choose HR software India
Start with payroll. If the statutory side is wrong, nothing else matters — ask the vendor to run a live payroll for a sample employee in your state and show you the PF, ESI and PT calculations.
Next, check how attendance actually reaches the system. Biometric device integration, geo-tagged mobile check-in and shift rostering are three very different problems, and most vendors are strong at one and weak at the others.
Finally, look at what happens at scale. Many Indian HRMS products are priced per employee per month with a floor of fifty or a hundred employees, which makes them expensive for a twenty-person team and cheap for a five-hundred-person one.
BudgetEntry pricing starts at ₹40/month in this list.

HR software India — frequently asked questions
Which HR software India is best?+
On App Advisor's ranking, greytHR, Zoho People, Kredily lead this list of 84 products. "Best" depends on your size and workflow, so use the shortlist tool with your budget and team size rather than taking a ranking at face value.
How much does HR software India cost?+
Published pricing in this list starts at ₹40 per month. 12 of the 84 products have a free plan. Products sold only on request show "On request" — we never estimate a price a vendor has not published.
Is there free HR software India?+
Yes — 12 of the 84 products here have a real free tier, not just a trial. Free plans usually cap users, records or transactions, so check the limit against your monthly volume before you commit.
Is there HR software India made in India?+
84 of the 84 products listed are built in India. That usually means GST, TDS and UPI are handled natively, support runs in Indian hours and invoices come in rupees.
How much does HRMS software cost in India?+
Most Indian HRMS products sit between ₹40 and ₹150 per employee per month, often with a minimum billing floor. A few offer a free tier for very small teams. Published pricing for each product is shown on its page, read from the vendor's own site.
Does HRMS software handle PF, ESI and TDS automatically?+
The better Indian products do, including challan generation and return filing formats. Global HRMS platforms usually do not handle Indian statutory payroll natively and need a local payroll partner bolted on — which is a real cost and a real point of failure.
