Plain cells, no adjectives. Where a cell says to check their listing, it is because their answer is theirs to state and a stale claim from us would be a false one.
When keka is the better choice
- You run formal payroll with PF, ESI and tax deducted at source.
- You have salary structures with several heads and allowances.
- You need an HR team’s tools, not a shop’s register.
How we think about it differently
DailyPlus does not calculate or file anything for the government, and it does not check whether you follow any law. It keeps the record you keep, and it says so plainly rather than implying more.

Can I use both?
Yes. Some shops mark the day in DailyPlus and run formal payroll elsewhere.
