Frequently asked questions
Is Fuzen HRMS actually free?
Yes. The Free Starter HRMS template covers employees, attendance and leave for unlimited users on the Fuzen free plan. You only pay if you upgrade to the Pro template or have us build a fully custom HRMS for your specific workflow.
What does the custom build cost?
Rs 1,00,000 one-time + Rs 12,500 per year for hosting and managed support. Compared to Keka Strength which costs roughly Rs 12 lakh over 3 years for a 100-person SMB, custom HRMS is about 1/9th the 3-year cost with full code ownership and statutory compliance built in.
What does 10% advance, 90% on approval mean?
You pay 10% to start the build (Rs 10,000 on the Rs 1 lakh tier). We deliver the working HRMS in 4 weeks. You pay the remaining 90% only after you sign off that it works for your team. No black-box pricing, no upfront commitment beyond the 10% deposit.
How long does the custom build take?
4 weeks end-to-end from kick-off to handover. Week 1 is scoping, weeks 2-3 are AI-driven build with human review, week 4 is statutory testing (PF, ESI, PT, TDS rules), training your HR team, and handover. Most teams have HR self-service running for employees by end of week 4.
Will it handle India statutory compliance (PF, ESI, PT, TDS)?
Yes. Multi-state PT (Maharashtra / Karnataka / Tamil Nadu / Telangana / Delhi / West Bengal slabs), PF ECR file generation, ESI returns, TDS Form 24Q, gratuity, Form 16 distribution. Statutory compliance is a standard part of every Fuzen HRMS build.
Can I migrate from Keka or greytHR?
Yes. Standard data export from Keka, greytHR, Zoho People works fine. We map your existing employees, leave balances, salary structures, and historic payslips into the new HRMS during the build. Migration is included in the Rs 1,00,000 build cost.
