NepalHRM vs Bidhee HRMS
Evaluating Bidhee for HR and payroll? Bidhee Pvt. Ltd. is an established Kathmandu software company, and its HR and Payroll System is described on its own site as an independent module of Bidhee ERP, listing personal information, appraisal, attendance, leave, payroll, shift, onboarding and offboarding, roster, asset and retirement modules, with payroll covering income tax, gratuity, PF, CIT and TDS. NepalHRM is not a module inside a wider product line. It is a focused HRMS for people operations only: IRD-compliant payroll with PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS plus a CIT Optimizer, the Bikram Sambat fiscal calendar, biometric and GPS attendance, recruitment, a Nepali mobile app, and NPR pricing that starts free for up to 10 employees.

Built for Nepal, End to End
Four things NepalHRM puts in writing that a buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
Built for HR, only HR
NepalHRM is not one module inside an ERP catalogue. Payroll, attendance, leave, recruitment and performance are the entire product, so they get the whole roadmap rather than a share of it.
Compliance you can name
PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS are native and export in the IRD eTDS format, with a CIT Optimizer that recommends the maximum legal contribution and one-click Nepal tax defaults.
Transparent NPR pricing
Free forever up to 10 employees, then NPR 60 (Essential) or NPR 99 (Business) per active employee. No minimum commitment and no per-module charges.
Self-serve, not a project
You sign up, reinstall Nepal tax defaults and run payroll from the browser or the mobile app. Most teams complete their first payroll run within their first cycle.
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
- Free forever up to 10 employees, so a small team can move at no cost
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.

Close the year in one place
The eTDS file in IRD format, bilingual payslips, 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 Bidhee HRMS, Answered
The questions buyers ask before they move, answered without a sales call.
Bidhee describes its HR and Payroll System as an independent module of Bidhee ERP, alongside construction management, inventory and CRM products. NepalHRM is a dedicated HRMS: employees, attendance, leave, IRD-compliant payroll, recruitment, performance and a mobile app in one system built only for HR. If you also need construction or inventory software, that difference may favour Bidhee.
Yes, all four, generated in the IRD eTDS format. NepalHRM auto-calculates income tax, PF, SSF and CIT against the current IRD slabs, and the CIT Optimizer recommends the maximum legally permitted CIT contribution to reduce an employee's TDS. Nepal tax defaults reinstall with one click, so the first payroll run starts from correct rates rather than manual entry.
Yes. NepalHRM is free forever for teams up to 10 employees, then NPR 60 per active employee on Essential and NPR 99 on Business, with no minimum commitment. Bidhee does not publish rates on its product page, so you would contact its sales team for current figures and compare them against those numbers.
Yes. The whole system runs in both BS and AD, so payroll periods, leave balances and reports respect the Nepali fiscal year from Shrawan to Ashad. Finance does not maintain a parallel Gregorian calendar in a spreadsheet, which is the usual workaround when an HR system only understands AD dates.
Yes. The Free plan covers up to 10 employees permanently, with no card required, and it is not a trial. It includes payroll, attendance and leave rather than a cut-down subset, so a small team can run real Nepal-compliant payroll on it and only start paying when headcount passes 10.
The fiscal-year changeover from Ashad to Shrawan is the cleanest moment to move. You start the new year with clean opening balances and avoid mid-year tax recalculations, which is where most migrations go wrong. Free onboarding support helps import employees and configure Nepal tax defaults before the first run.
