India Payroll & Compliance
Hiring in India? We handle the part that breaks first.
PF, ESIC, professional tax, TDS deductions, GST, EOR — most foreign companies hit one of these in their first month and realise their accountant has no idea. We run the entire stack for you. Monthly, on time, in your currency.

How it works
Step 1 — Audit (Week 1)
We review your current setup (or planned hires), identify compliance gaps, and quote you a fixed monthly fee. No commitment.
Step 2 — Onboard (Week 2–3)
We register where needed, take over from your current accountant or agency, and set up your team in our HRMS.
Step 3 — Run (Monthly, ongoing)
Payroll runs on schedule. Compliance filings happen on schedule. You get a single monthly invoice in your currency. You go back to your actual job.

Who this is for
This is for you if:
- You’re a UK, German, UAE, Malaysian, or Singaporean company
- You have hired (or plan to hire) 1–25 people in India
- You don’t want to run an India HR team yourself
- You want one vendor, one invoice, one point of contact
This is NOT for you if:
- You have 100+ India employees — at that scale you want an in-house team, not us
- You’re looking for the cheapest-possible compliance vendor at any cost — we’re not the cheapest, we’re the most reliable

FAQ
We already have an India entity. Can you take over our existing payroll?
Yes. Most engagements start exactly this way. We audit what’s there, identify gaps, take over operations within 2–3 weeks.
We don’t have an India entity. Can you still help?
Yes — through EOR. We employ your team in India under our entity; they work for you. You skip the entity setup entirely.
How fast is onboarding?
2–3 weeks for existing entities. 4–6 weeks if we’re also setting up EOR or registering you for the first time.
What’s the minimum engagement size?
We work with as few as 1 employee. Setup fee waived from 5+.
Do you handle expat / foreign employees in India too?
Yes — including FRRO, work visa renewals, and tax equalisation coordination.
