NepalHRM launches HR and payroll software built for Nepali businesses

NepalHRM has officially launched its human resource and payroll software, tailored to meet the specific needs and regulations of businesses operating in Nepal. The platform aims to streamline HR and payroll processes, allowing companies to manage employee data, track attendance and leave, oversee recruitment and onboarding, and process payroll in compliance with Nepali laws, all within a single system.

A key differentiator for NepalHRM is its built-in configuration for Nepal's tax regulations, including Provident Fund (PF), Citizen Investment Trust (CIT), Social Security Fund (SSF), eTDS, and Inland Revenue Department (IRD) requirements. The software automatically updates to reflect any changes in government regulations, addressing a significant compliance challenge for many Nepali HR and finance departments.

Unlike foreign HR software, NepalHRM comes pre-configured with the latest tax slabs for PF, CIT, SSF, eTDS, and the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

NepalHRM also stands out with its pricing model. The platform is offered free of charge indefinitely for teams of up to 10 employees, making it accessible for startups and small businesses looking to digitize their operations without initial investment. Larger organizations can also implement the system, with dedicated onboarding specialists assisting in the setup process, typically within two to four weeks.

The platform is free forever for teams of up to 10 employees, with no card required and no minimum commitment.

The software integrates seamlessly with popular biometric attendance devices such as ZKTeco, Anviz, Realand, and Hikvision. Additionally, its dedicated Android and iOS mobile applications empower employees to manage check-ins, submit leave requests, file reimbursement claims, access payslips, and view company announcements. NepalHRM emphasizes its robust security measures, including TLS 1.2+ and AES-256 encryption, role-based access control, and daily data backups.

Co-founders Sujan Thapaliya and Rajnita Bhetwal highlighted that Nepali businesses have historically struggled with foreign software that fails to account for local regulations. Many still rely on manual methods like Excel or use international tools that overlook crucial Nepali compliance requirements. NepalHRM was developed to address this gap, providing a cost-effective and compliant solution for businesses of all sizes. Customer support is available in both English and Nepali via email, phone, and WhatsApp.

Nepali businesses have long struggled with foreign software that doesn’t understand local regulations. According to them, many companies in Nepal still manage payroll and attendance on Excel, or purchase foreign tools that don’t account for PF, SSF, or eTDS requirements, which is why they built a system tailored to Nepal’s own rules, so that small businesses too can digitise their HR without cost.
