NepalHRM vs NeoHRMS
Short answer: NeoHRMS is a general cloud HRMS sold in Indian rupees by headcount band, and NepalHRM is built for Nepal's payroll and calendar. NeoHRMS's home page lists a ₹2,500 monthly plan for up to 25 employees, Pro at ₹5,000 for 50 and Platinum at ₹10,000 for 100, each with a yearly price and a cap on user logins and storage, plus a free plan for five. Its feature list covers employee records, payroll with tax, allowances and deductions, leave and attendance, recruitment and onboarding, performance and reports. Nepal's SSF, CIT, TDS and the IRD's eTDS file are not mentioned there; NepalHRM runs all of them, works in Bikram Sambat dates, and bills each employee in NPR. Each NeoHRMS cell names what it came from on neohrms.com, read on 5 November 2026.

NeoHRMS details were read on 5 November 2026 from the home page at www.neohrms.com (plans, features, FAQ, why-choose-us and contact sections). Rupee amounts are converted at Nepal Rastra Bank's buying rate of NPR 160 per ₹100 published that day, for comparison only. Where the page is silent the table says so, which is not evidence that NeoHRMS lacks the feature. NepalHRM prices exclude 13% VAT. Confirm current details with each vendor before you decide.
Built for Nepal, End to End
Four things NepalHRM puts in writing that a buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
Nepal's statutory set, built in
SSF, CIT, PF and TDS are worked out on every run and the eTDS file comes out in the IRD format, so nothing has to be configured onto a general payroll engine first.
Bikram Sambat everywhere
Payroll periods, leave years and reports run on the Shrawan to Ashad fiscal year, with AD dates alongside for anyone who needs them.
No band to outgrow
Each employee costs NPR 60 on Essential or NPR 99 on Business, so hiring a 26th person adds one employee to the bill rather than moving the company to the next band.
Devices Nepali offices use
ZKTeco, Hikvision and Sintech (Realand) machines feed attendance straight into payroll, and an edge agent keeps punches from older ZKTeco units while the internet is down.
Switching HR Software Is Where the Pain Actually Is
Feature lists are the easy part of the decision. What decides whether a switch goes well is the migration itself, and almost none of it is about which platform has more modules.
- Moving mid-year means recalculating tax that has already been deducted
- Leave and CIT opening balances get rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet
- Employee data leaves the old system in one shape and the new one expects another
- The old system stays open for months because nobody trusts the new numbers yet
Move at the Fiscal-Year Changeover
Ashad to Shrawan is the cleanest moment to switch. You start the new year with clean opening balances and skip the mid-year tax recalculation entirely.
What you get on the way in
- Free onboarding support imports employees and configures Nepal tax defaults
- One click reinstalls the Nepal tax slabs, so the first run starts from correct rates
- Most teams complete their first payroll run within their first cycle
- A 30-day free trial of every feature, so you can run a payroll before you pay
From Sign-Up to Your First Payroll Run
The same four steps whichever system you are leaving. Free onboarding support runs alongside all of them.
- Day 1
Set up the company
Sign up, add your company details, and reinstall Nepal tax defaults so the slabs, PF and SSF rates start from the current IRD figures.
- Week 1
Bring your people across
Free onboarding support helps import employees, salary structures and leave balances from whatever you are running today.
- First cycle
Run one period in parallel
Process a full payroll period alongside your current system and reconcile the two before you switch the old one off.
- Ongoing
Close the year in one place
The eTDS file in IRD format, payslips on the mobile app, and bank transfer files for NIC Asia, Nabil, Global IME, NBL and more.

Your Team Gets It on Every Device
Employees check in, apply for leave, submit claims and download payslips from the app. Managers approve from the same place, which is usually what decides whether an HR system still gets used after month one.
NepalHRM vs NeoHRMS, Answered
The questions buyers ask before they move, answered without a sales call.
Three cases, going by what NeoHRMS publishes. First, your staff and payroll are in India: its prices are in Indian rupees and its contact address is in Pune, while NepalHRM is built for Nepal's rules. Second, you are hiring quickly inside one band: Pro is a flat ₹5,000 a month for up to 50 employees, so growing from 26 to 50 staff adds nothing to that bill, while NepalHRM charges each employee from the first. Third, you want the AI Integration it lists on Pro and Platinum; ask NeoHRMS to show what it does, because the home page does not say. For a team filing SSF, CIT and TDS in Nepal, its home page describes none of those.
Its home page, read on 5 November 2026, lists a free plan for up to 5 employees, a ₹2,500 monthly plan for 25 employees with 5 user logins and 2 GB, Pro at ₹5,000 a month for 50 employees with 10 logins and 20 GB, and Platinum at ₹10,000 a month for 100 employees with 25 logins and 50 GB. Paid yearly they are ₹27,500, ₹54,000 and ₹110,000. The page does not say whether tax is included, or what each plan contains beyond AI Integration on Pro and Platinum.
For one year, before tax. NeoHRMS Pro, the band that covers 40: ₹5,000 × 12 = ₹60,000 billed monthly or ₹54,000 paid yearly, which is NPR 96,000 or NPR 86,400 at Nepal Rastra Bank's buying rate of NPR 160 per ₹100 on 5 November 2026. NepalHRM Business, the plan with payroll: 40 × NPR 99 = NPR 3,960 a month, so NPR 47,520 over twelve monthly bills or NPR 39,600 paid yearly, because a yearly plan is charged for 10 months; with 13% VAT the yearly bill is NPR 44,748.
Its home page, read on 5 November 2026, describes payroll automation with tax, allowances and deductions and downloadable payslips, but does not mention Nepal, the Social Security Fund, the Citizen Investment Trust, TDS or the IRD. Ask NeoHRMS to run a Nepali payslip in a demo before you buy. NepalHRM deducts SSF, CIT, PF and TDS on every run, generates the eTDS file in the IRD format for you to upload, and its Tax Planner shows the CIT contribution that minimises each employee's TDS.
On NeoHRMS each plan lists an employee count of 25, 50 or 100, so the 26th employee means moving from the ₹2,500 plan to Pro at ₹5,000 a month, and the 51st means Platinum at ₹10,000. On NepalHRM each extra employee adds NPR 60 on Essential or NPR 99 on Business to the monthly bill. The free Startup Program stops at 10 employees, and payroll starts on Business.
No. They are separate products from separate companies with similar names. NeoHRMS is at neohrms.com with a contact address in Pune, India; NepalHRM is at nepalhrm.com and is built by Yoddha Lab in Kathmandu. If your employer uses NepalHRM, sign in at app.nepalhrm.com or in the NepalHRM app; NepalHRM has no access to NeoHRMS accounts.
