LekhaPro has no HRMS — AI or otherwise
Does LekhaPro offer an AI-powered HRMS?
No, and the straight answer is more useful than a hedge. There is no HRMS module in LekhaPro — no employee master, no leave or attendance, no appraisals, no pay run — so there is nothing for an AI layer to sit on top of. `packages/core` records payroll as deliberately out of scope, and Form 24Q (salary TDS) is marked explicitly unsupported for the same reason.
This page exists because "AI powered HRMS" is a real search and the people making it deserve to find out in one sentence rather than after a demo call.
What is genuinely AI-powered here is the accounting and operations side, and it is worth one paragraph because the architecture is the unusual part: every figure is computed by a deterministic engine from your posted books before any language model sees it. Turn the model off and the numbers do not change. That applies to your ledger, your receivables and your GST — not to your headcount.
Who does what
| Step | Who does it | Can the model change it? |
|---|---|---|
| Read the posted ledger | Deterministic engine | No |
| Compute the figure | Deterministic engine | No |
| Choose which engines to run | Router | No |
| Write the sentence | Language model | Wording only |
| Propose an action | Named, validated tool | Drafts it; you approve |
| Write to your data | Existing audited mutation | Never unattended |
What it does here
- Answers questions about your posted ledger, including staff cost booked as expenses
- Free payslip generator and gratuity / EPF / in-hand salary calculators
- Files TDS on non-salary payments (26Q)
The boundary
- No HRMS and no payroll, with or without AI. No employee master, leave, attendance, shifts or appraisals.
- Form 24Q cannot be filed — salary TDS needs payroll data the product does not hold.
- The HR calculators are Indian-rule estimates and state their own simplifications.
Questions
Does LekhaPro offer an AI-powered HRMS?
No, and the straight answer is more useful than a hedge. There is no HRMS module in LekhaPro — no employee master, no leave or attendance, no appraisals, no pay run — so there is nothing for an AI layer to sit on top of. `packages/core` records payroll as deliberately out of scope, and Form 24Q (salary TDS) is marked explicitly unsupported for the same reason.
Does the AI ever calculate the numbers itself?
No. A deterministic engine computes every figure from your posted books and hands the model a structured snapshot; the model writes prose about it. Turn the model off and an on-device narrator produces the same answer from the same numbers — which is the test worth applying to any AI accounting claim.
Can it change my data?
Only through named tools bound to existing audited mutations, argument-validated before they run, and every tool that writes carries an approval requirement. Nothing bypasses the permissions your user account already has, and every write is logged like any other.
