Why TLC

One platform behind every contractor payout you run.

  • Built for contractor payroll

    Pay hundreds of freelancers and IT contractors in a single approved batch — milestones, retainers, and hourly invoices, all in one run.

  • Money that moves in seconds

    Instant disbursements across UPI, IMPS, NEFT, and RTGS from a single, unified API — no waiting on bank cut-off windows.

  • Records finance can close on

    Every payout reconciled with invoice references, TDS captured, and export-ready statements your accountant can trust.

  • Compliance-first

    Designed for RBI-aligned money movement, with KYC/AML built around the PMLA and TDS handling for contractor payments.

Contractor Management

Everything you need to pay contractors right.

Six building blocks that cover the whole lifecycle — from onboarding a freelancer to reconciling the payout.

  • 01

    Contractor Directory

    One verified profile for every freelancer — bank details, PAN, GST, and rate cards — so you never chase payment info at invoice time.

  • 02

    Milestone Payouts

    Tie payments to project milestones and approvals. Release funds the moment work is signed off, not weeks later.

  • 03

    Invoice Matching

    Match every disbursement to its invoice automatically, with TDS applied and a clean audit trail for finance.

  • 04

    Instant Payouts

    Send payments in real time through our API and webhooks — the moment a timesheet or milestone is approved.

  • 05

    Enterprise Security

    Enterprise-grade security practices — SSO/SAML, granular role-based access, and data controls built with the DPDP Act, 2023 in mind.

  • 06

    Contractor Portal

    A self-serve portal where freelancers submit invoices, track payment status, and download TDS certificates — branded as you, not us.

Contractor Payouts

Pay every contractor, over any rail.

TLC is a full disbursement engine for IT teams — pay freelancers, retainers, agencies, and overseas developers from the same platform, with TDS and compliance built in.

    Retainers & Payroll

    Automate recurring retainers and contractor payroll with multi-step approval workflows and scheduled settlement, month after month.

  • 03

    Agency Settlements

  • 04

    Cross-Border Payouts

    Pay overseas developers and remote teams, with the right rails and documentation for compliant international transfers.

  • 05

    Multi-Rail Coverage

    Reach every contractor over the rail they prefer — UPI, IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, cards, and wallets — through one unified API.

  • 06

    TDS & Compliance

    TDS deducted and tracked per contractor, KYC/AML aligned to the PMLA, maker-checker approvals, and audit trails on every transaction.

How it works

From connected to live, in three steps.

A guided path from your first contractor import to real-time payouts at scale.

  1. 01

    Add your contractors

    Import freelancers and their bank, PAN, and GST details via API, CSV, or the dashboard — verified once, reused on every payout.

  2. 02

    Set approvals & rails

    Configure milestone rules, TDS, and maker-checker approval workflows — all visually, without writing any code.

  3. 03

    Pay and reconcile

    Release approved payouts in real time, then hand finance export-ready statements that reconcile to the rupee.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is happy to walk you through it.

  • TLC is built for contractor payouts, not one-off bank transfers. It stores verified freelancer details, ties payments to milestones and invoices, deducts and tracks TDS automatically, and reconciles every transfer — so you pay hundreds of people in one approved batch instead of keying transfers by hand.

Pay every developer on time — from one platform.
