India Payroll & Compliance

India payroll & compliance — we handle the part that breaks first.

PF, ESIC, professional tax, TDS, GST, EOR — for Indian companies (Kochi, Kerala, and India-wide) and international buyers with people in India. We run the entire stack from our Kochi desk — monthly, on time, in your contract currency.

Many clients add tech team staffing once payroll is stable — same MTT invoice shape throughout.

What we handle

Statutory compliance

GST & vendor compliance

  • Vendor invoicing and reconciliation

How it works

Step 1 — Audit (Week 1)

We review your current setup (or planned hires), identify compliance gaps, and quote a transparent cost-plus model with a flat 15% management 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.

How we price

Monthly invoice = Pass-through + (15% × Pass-through)

Pass-through (at cost): gross salary + employer statutory (PF, ESIC, professional tax, TDS, etc.).

15% management fee (MTT): HR operations, compliance filings, records, and governance — no hidden markup on seniority.

Client type Planning reference (after audit)
India (Kochi, Kerala, India-wide) Often ₹5,500–₹13,500 per employee per month total programme band depending on compliance depth — built from pass-through + 15% fee
International (UK, EU, UAE, etc.) Same MTT formula; proposals often express the ops layer in a £40–£70 or €45–€80 per employee per month class — excluding gross salary pass-through
Setup Waived for 5+ employees · volume discussion from 10+

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • You’re an Indian company (Kochi, Kerala, or elsewhere in India)
  • You’re an international company — UK, Germany, UAE, Malaysia, Singapore, or anywhere else hiring in India
  • 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.
