TallyPrime greytHR Integration - Monthly Payroll to Salary Journal
The TallyPrime-greytHR connector syncs monthly payroll from greytHR into TallyPrime as salary journals with PF, ESI, and TDS split into the correct statutory ledgers. Attendance adjustments, reimbursements, and full-and-final settlements flow through the same monthly cycle. Multi-branch and multi-company greytHR setups supported. Zero manual data entry between the ERP and the connected app.

What this connector does
greytHR is the largest SMB HRMS in India by installed base — 20,000+ businesses use it for payroll and statutory compliance. Every one of those businesses runs a monthly reconciliation cycle between greytHR and their accounting system, and TallyPrime is the accounting system in the majority of cases. The manual workflow is identical to the Keka one — export payroll to Excel, prepare salary journal entries, split PF (employer + employee share) and ESI (employer + employee share) into statutory ledgers, post TDS per section for downstream Form 24Q filing, book employer contributions, allocate per branch or cost centre for MIS, reconcile the bank credit against the greytHR payroll register — and consumes the same 1-2 full days per month per entity.
What makes greytHR customers slightly different is the multi-branch payroll model. greytHR is dominant in tier-2 and tier-3 SMBs, and those businesses often run multi-branch payroll with different ESI sub-codes per branch. The manual reconciliation is sequential — one branch at a time — and the sub-code split for ESI is easy to get wrong. Once wrong, the downstream Tally-ESIC filing goes to the wrong sub-code and creates statutory rework.
This connector automates the entire cycle. Monthly payroll runs on greytHR are pulled via the greytHR API the moment they close. Salary journal entries are posted into Tally per employee cost centre or branch. PF and ESI liabilities are split into statutory ledgers — with ESI sub-code preserved per branch so downstream Tally-ESIC filing runs correctly. TDS per section per employee is posted separately for Form 24Q. Attendance-based adjustments (LOP), reimbursements from greytHR expense module, and full-and-final settlements at exit all flow through the same pipeline.
All greytHR editions (Starter, Growth, Enterprise) are supported through the standard greytHR API. Enterprise editions with custom pay heads or non-standard statutory setups get an onboarding session to map the additional heads. Multi-entity groups running separate tenants per legal entity get parallel sync pipelines — each greytHR tenant maps to a specific Tally company, and statutory boundaries per PAN / TAN stay clean.

Built for teams that need reliable automation
The TallyPrime <-> greytHRconnector fits into finance, ops, and revenue teams that have outgrown copy-paste — the ones whose month-end close should not depend on a spreadsheet, whose ledger accuracy should not depend on human vigilance, and whose sales velocity should not stall behind an accountant's inbox.
Below are the roles that get the fastest return the moment this connector goes live. If yours is on the list, the payback is typically visible in the first billing cycle.
HR Head (SMB)
Runs greytHR for a 50-500 employee SMB and needs monthly Tally sync without depending on IT for CSV rework.
Finance Manager
Books salary journals in Tally per PAN and wants statutory splits handled per branch, not just per company.
Group Controller
Runs multiple entities on greytHR (one tenant per PAN) and needs statutory boundaries kept clean across the group.

Frequently Asked Questions
The built-in export produces a static Excel that has to be imported manually every month and needs re-mapping when your Tally ledger structure changes. This connector uses the greytHR API, posts entries directly into Tally per your current ledger structure, and handles the statutory splits and cost-centre allocation automatically.
Yes. greytHR Starter, Growth, and Enterprise editions are all supported through the standard greytHR API. Enterprise editions with custom pay heads or non-standard statutory setups get an onboarding session to map the additional heads.
Multi-branch is directly supported. Each greytHR branch maps to a Tally cost centre. The associated ESI sub-code (per branch registration) is preserved through the sync, so downstream Tally-ESIC filing runs correctly per sub-code.
Yes. LOP (Loss of Pay) days from greytHR attendance are factored into the salary calculation on the greytHR side before the payroll journal is generated. The connector receives the net figure and posts it into Tally. If your finance team needs LOP visibility for MIS, a separate LOP tracking ledger is available in the mapping options.
