Read the overview
If you run a service business, the time tracking software you pick in India should do three things. Track hours, keep attendance and leave in the same place, and bill you in rupees. Trakkar does all three. It costs ₹120 per user per month plus GST, paid upfront in INR, with a free trial that needs no credit card.
If all you need is a simple timer, a free tool may be enough. But if you run an agency, a consultancy or any team that works on client projects, and you are comparing employee time tracking software in India, read on. This page covers what to look for, how Trakkar works, what it costs, and how it compares with the tools Indian business owners shortlist most.
What Indian businesses need from employee time tracking software
Most time tracking tools were built for teams in the US or Europe. They work fine in India. But a few things matter more here.
- Pricing in rupees.USD prices move with the exchange rate, and your card may add a forex charge on top. A rupee price is easier to budget for.
- Attendance and leave as well as hours.Indian teams run on shifts, grace periods, half days, WFH requests and a long list of holidays. When attendance lives in one tool and hours in another, someone ends up reconciling spreadsheets every month.
- Projects and timesheets together.A service business needs to see hours by client and by project, not only by person.
- Monitoring your team can trust.Screenshots can help with remote work, but only when people know what is captured and why.
- Simple payment.You pay in INR through Razorpay, an Indian checkout, so billing stays simple.

Attendance, leave and Indian holiday calendars
Time tracking tells you what people worked on. Attendance tells you who showed up, when, and from where. Trakkar keeps both in one place.
- Clock in and out.from the web or a phone, with typed breaks.
- Office or remote.Location is recorded, so you can tell office days from home days.
- Shifts and grace periods.Create shift templates, assign them, and set a grace period for late arrivals.
- Holiday calendar.Set up your company holidays for the year, including the Indian national and festival holidays your business observes.
- Leave types and balances.Create the leave types you actually use, such as casual, sick and earned leave, with balances and accruals.
- WFH and overtime requests.A team member raises a request and a manager approves it.
- One approval queue.Leave, WFH and attendance corrections sit together, not scattered across emails and WhatsApp messages.
- Team heatmap.See the whole team's attendance at a glance. Admin edits are logged.
Projects and timesheets in the same place
For a service business, hours only mean something when they sit against a client and a project. So project and task management comes in the same plan.
- Tasks with checklists, attachments, comments and dependencies on other tasks.
- Kanban board, Gantt view and custom workflow statuses.
- Async daily standups, filled in from yesterday's tasks and time.
- Project reports and member workload.
Time, attendance and projects share one login. Nobody has to match names across three exports at month end. The same plan also includes invoicing, quotations and a client portal, with GST and GSTIN support for Indian businesses.

How to choose the right tool for your team
No one tool suits every Indian business. Start from your main need.
- You need payroll with statutory deductions.Look at an HR and payroll suite such as Keka or greytHR. That is what they are built for. Trakkar is not a payroll tool.
- You only need a basic timer for a few people.A free plan from Clockify or Jibble may be all you need.
- You need deep monitoring for a large remote or hybrid team.Hubstaff and Time Doctor focus heavily on activity analytics.
- You run a service business and want time, attendance, leave and projects together, priced in rupees.That is the team we built Trakkar for.
A few practical checks before you buy:
- Work out the real monthly cost in rupees, including GST and any forex charge on USD plans.
- Check whether attendance and leave are included or sold as a higher tier.
- Ask whether screenshots are optional and whether employees can see their own.
- Run a free trial with a small team for a week or two before you roll it out to everyone.
