Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about Branova HRMS. Still stuck? Email our team.

How does attendance tracking work?
Branova HRMS lets you mark and track daily attendance, define shifts, and handle regularisation requests when someone forgets to punch in or out. Employees can check in from the web, so remote and on-site staff are covered. Attendance data then flows straight into leave balances and payroll, so there is no double entry.
How do employees apply for leave?
Employees raise leave requests directly from their self-service portal, and their reporting manager approves or rejects them online. Leave balances are deducted automatically once a request is approved, and the holiday calendar keeps everyone aligned on company and regional holidays. No paper forms or email threads are needed.
Does payroll handle Indian statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS)?
Yes. Branova HRMS computes Provident Fund (PF/EPF), ESI, Professional Tax and TDS as per the applicable Indian rules while running payroll each month. It also produces the statutory reports you need for filing, so your compliance work is largely automated. Rates and thresholds follow current statutory norms.
Does it generate payslips?
Yes. After each payroll run, Branova HRMS generates monthly payslips that clearly show earnings, deductions and net pay in ₹. Payslips can be downloaded by admins or emailed directly to staff, and employees can also access them from their self-service portal at any time.
Is there a free plan / what does it cost?
There is a free tier so you can start without paying anything, and paid plans are priced in ₹ with the ability to cancel anytime. Pricing scales with your team, so you only pay for what you use. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing section.
Can I configure salary structures?
Yes. You can define earnings and deduction components such as Basic, HRA and other allowances, and build complete CTC breakups. Salary structures can be set per employee or per grade, so your compensation policy stays consistent across the organisation. Once configured, these components feed straight into payroll calculations.
Is there employee self-service (ESS)?
Yes. Through employee self-service, staff can view and download their payslips, apply for leave, check their attendance records and update their basic details. This reduces the load on your HR team while giving employees direct, secure access to their own information.
What HR/compliance reports are available?
Branova HRMS provides attendance and leave reports, a full payroll register, and PF, ESI and TDS statements for statutory filings. Reports can be exported to CSV or PDF, so you can hand them to your accountant or upload them to government portals. This gives you an audit-ready record for every pay cycle.
Is our employees' personal and salary data kept private?
Yes. Access is role-controlled so employees only see what they are permitted to, passwords are stored as secure hashes, and HRMS data lives in its own database isolated from other Branova apps. Sensitive personal and salary information is never exposed to other organisations or products.
What is the Branova Business Suite?
Branova Business Suite is a family of connected business apps — CRM, Invoice, Helpdesk, Inventory, Booking, HRMS, AMC, Projects, Forms and Discover — that share one Branova account and a single, consistent design. You sign in once at apps.branova.in and open any app you've subscribed to. Each app is a complete product on its own, so you can use just Branova HRMS or run your whole business on the suite.
If I use another Branova app, is my data shared automatically?
No. Each Branova app has its own separate database, so the business data you create in Branova HRMS stays inside Branova HRMS. You sign in once with a single Branova account (single sign-on), but signing in never copies or merges data between apps. Data moves between apps only if you deliberately export it or set up a specific integration yourself.
