Frequently Asked Questions
Can we start with the free Neev HR tier and upgrade as our team expands?
Review the pricing page for current plan amounts, employee capacity and included modules. Choose a plan for your team size and required workflows, and confirm the billing cycle at checkout.
Does AccoNova generate the exact EPFO ECR text file format required for government portal upload?
Yes. AccoNova computes member-wise PF contributions (12% employee share, 3.67% employer PF, 8.33% EPS capped at ₹15,000 ceiling, EDLI, and administrative charges) and exports the official #~# delimited raw text file format specified by EPFO, ready for immediate challan generation.
How does GPS Geo-Fencing prevent mock location and proxy clock-ins?
Our mobile web app queries hardware-level location APIs, cross-verifies latitude and longitude against pre-set workplace perimeter radii (e.g. 50 meters), and actively detects mock-location spoofing apps. If an employee is outside the designated radius, the punch is blocked with an 'outside_zone' status.
How does the IT Declaration Portal handle Old vs New Tax Regimes?
Employees can simulate and toggle between the Old Tax Regime and the New Tax Regime (Section 115BAC) directly in their portal. They can declare Section 80C, 80D, and HRA rent receipts, allowing the payroll engine to calculate precise monthly TDS deductions.
Is employee biometric, banking, and salary data secure in AccoNova?
Review workspace roles, document permissions and the current Security and DPA disclosures. Request evidence for encryption, audit retention and other controls before making a security or compliance decision.
