The job
Six things an Indian HRMS must do
One record per person
Every module reads the same employee: a transfer, a promotion or an exit is recorded once and payroll, leave, attendance and approvals follow.
Employees & Org StructureAttendance from wherever people are
Biometric devices at a gate, GPS-tagged punches from a phone, a web clock at a desk. All of it lands on one muster, judged against the shift each person was on.
AttendanceIndian payroll inside the run
PF with the EPS split, ESI within the wage ceiling, professional tax by work location, TDS under each employee’s regime. Challans, ECR and Form 24Q from the same numbers as the payslips.
PayrollLeave people check themselves
Accruals, carry-forward and encashment by policy; balances on the phone, so HR stops answering the same question.
Leave ManagementOne approval engine
Leave, expenses, purchases and salary revisions route through the same workflow, so the delegation matrix is behaviour rather than a PDF.
Approval WorkflowsReports from live records
The salary register, the muster roll and cost analytics are the same numbers the payslips carry, not a warehouse that was current on Thursday.

Under 15 employees
Basic is free for life: records, attendance, leave, documents and the app. Start there and grow into a paid plan when headcount does.
HRMS for small businessMoving off spreadsheets or Tally
Import, configure, one parallel payroll reconciled to the rupee, then switch. Two to four weeks, and nothing retyped.

Questions people ask
What makes an HRMS compliant with Indian labour laws?
It computes PF, ESI, professional tax by state and TDS inside the payroll run, on the attendance and leave it already holds, and produces the challans, returns and registers from those same numbers. Kuzhu does all of that, with Labour Welfare Fund, gratuity and statutory bonus where they apply.
Is Kuzhu free for small businesses in India?
Yes. The Basic plan is free for life for one company with up to 15 employees: employee records, attendance with mobile punch, leave, documents and the mobile app. No card and no time limit. Starter, Growth and Enterprise are priced per employee and quoted on your headcount.
How long does it take to move from spreadsheets or another HRMS?
Two to four weeks for most companies. The workspace exists the same day; the time goes into importing employees, salary structures and leave balances, and running one payroll in parallel with your current process so the numbers are reconciled before you switch.
Can biometric attendance machines work with Kuzhu?
Yes. ESSL, Realtime and any device that can push punches feed the same attendance record as the web clock and GPS-tagged mobile punch, so the muster payroll runs on is one list and not three.
Where is customer data stored in Kuzhu?
On servers in India, in a separate database for each company and not a shared table. You can export everything at any time and for 90 days after you leave, after which it is deleted.
