Zaffre HRM is an all-in-one HR and operations software platform by Zaffre Tech. It unifies HR, payroll, attendance, leave, remote-work monitoring, procurement, petty cash, project management, helpdesk and secure client communication in one connected system. Its standout feature is a dual payroll engine that runs local (PKR) and remittance (foreign currency) salaries in a single payroll run.

Who is Zaffre HRM for?

Small businesses, startups and growing companies of 5 to a few hundred employees — particularly those that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected SaaS tools. Strong fit for Pakistan-based companies and any team paying employees in multiple currencies.

What makes Zaffre HRM different from other HR and HCM platforms?

Most HR platforms cover HR and payroll well but leave operations (procurement, petty cash, projects, helpdesk, remote monitoring, client communication) to other tools. Zaffre HRM includes those natively and links every module together — a leave approval updates attendance and payroll, an employee exit triggers asset recovery and final settlement, and a client onboarding flows into billing. It also has a market-unique dual payroll engine.

Does Zaffre HRM support payroll in multiple currencies?

Yes. The dual payroll engine runs local-currency (PKR) salaries and remittance-currency (foreign) salaries together in a single payroll cycle — this is the platform's signature feature and is rare in the market.

Does Zaffre HRM include remote employee monitoring?

Yes, natively. A Tauri-based desktop agent captures login/logout, active hours, application and website usage, and periodic screenshots, and powers productivity-based attendance. It is not a third-party add-on.

Does Zaffre HRM have a mobile app?

Yes — a companion mobile app (Expo / React Native) for attendance, leave, payslips, chat and approvals, with real-time push notifications via FCM.

How is Zaffre HRM priced?

Transparent per-employee, per-module monthly pricing. Modules can be turned on or off per company. Designed to be cheaper in aggregate than the 6+ tools it replaces.

Where is Zaffre HRM based?

Zaffre Tech, the company behind Zaffre HRM, is headquartered in Pakistan and serves customers globally — with strong adoption in Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

How to File Salary Tax in IRIS Pakistan 2026 | Employee Guide

Every salaried Pakistani earning above the basic exemption threshold is required to file an annual income tax return in FBR's IRIS portal. First-time filers find it intimidating; it's actually straightforward when you know the steps. Here is the practical employee guide for 2026.

Before you start — what to gather

Salary tax certificate from your employer (issued at year-end)
NTN (your tax registration number)
Bank statements for the year
Investment statements (mutual funds, shares, savings)
Property documents (if you own property)
Vehicle registration (if you own vehicles)
Donation receipts (for tax credits)
Education expenses (for tax credits, where applicable)
Insurance premium receipts

Step 1 — Log in to IRIS

Visit FBR's IRIS portal. Use your NTN/CNIC + password. If first time, register first (process is online with CNIC + mobile verification).

Step 2 — Select the return type

For salaried persons: Income Tax Return — Salary. Select the relevant tax year.

Step 3 — Personal details

Most fields auto-populate from your registration. Verify:

Name, CNIC, NTN
Address, mobile, email
Filing status (resident, salaried)

Step 4 — Salary income

From your salary tax certificate, enter:

Total salary received (gross)
Specific allowances (HRA, conveyance, medical, etc.)
Bonus, commission, arrears
Employer name and NTN

Step 5 — Tax already deducted (WHT)

From the salary tax certificate, enter:

Total WHT under section 149 deducted
Other WHT (on profit on debt, prize bonds, dividend, etc.)

Step 6 — Other income

Any income besides salary:

Profit on bank deposits
Dividend
Capital gains on shares / mutual funds
Rental income
Business / freelance income

Step 7 — Tax credits + adjustments

Various tax credits reduce final tax:

Donations to approved charities (within limits)
Investment in mutual funds / shares (within limits)
Insurance premium (within limits)
Education expenses for children (within limits)

Each requires supporting documentation if FBR audits.

Step 8 — Wealth statement

This is the section many first-timers find tricky. Declare:

Bank balances (year-end)
Cash on hand
Movable assets (vehicles, jewellery, household items)
Immovable assets (property)
Investments
Liabilities (loans outstanding)

Net wealth = assets minus liabilities. Should reconcile with last year's wealth + income earned this year - expenses (the "wealth reconciliation").

Step 9 — Compute and verify

IRIS computes the total tax liability based on entries. Compare with WHT already deducted:

Tax liability > WHT → additional tax due
Tax liability < WHT → refund
Tax liability = WHT → nothing due

Step 10 — Submit

Once entries are verified, submit. IRIS generates the acknowledgement. Save / print for records.

If you owe additional tax

Pay through designated banks via the IRIS-generated challan. Deadline typically matches the filing deadline. Late payment incurs surcharge.

If you have refund due

Refund is processed by FBR — sometimes takes weeks or months. The refund credits to your registered bank account.

Why filing matters even if no additional tax

Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status — affects WHT rates on payments you receive in future
Wealth reconciliation maintained
Loan applications often require tax returns
Visa applications often require tax returns
Property purchase / sale requires ATL status
Statutory requirement above threshold

Common first-time filing mistakes

Skipping wealth statement → audit risk
Forgetting investment income
Wealth reconciliation not done → flagged
Not keeping supporting documents
Filing late → penalty + miss ATL window

When to use a tax practitioner

For simple salary-only returns with standard deductions, self-filing in IRIS works. For:

Multiple income sources
Capital gains
Property transactions
Wealth statement reconciliation complexity
Business income alongside salary

Use a tax practitioner.

How HR software helps

Zaffre HRM generates the year-end salary tax certificate per employee in the right format — which is the document you base your IRIS filing on. See: FBR WHT guide.

Critical caveat

Tax filing is your personal legal obligation. This article is general guidance for first-time filers, not tax advice. For specific situations, consult a tax practitioner.
