Payroll: common questions

How much does it cost?

Their salary plus 8% of salary per month, with a one-time $50 setup cost per person. No hidden costs. Government fees are included in the salary amount.

What does CTC mean?

CTC is cost to company: the total yearly cost of employing someone in India. It includes their gross salary and the employer’s statutory contributions, such as provident fund. Our fee is 8% of the monthly CTC.

Which statutory items do you handle?

Income tax deducted at source (TDS), provident fund (PF), employee state insurance (ESI) and professional tax, where each applies to the person. We pay and file each one on time and keep the proof.

Do I need an Indian company to hire through you?

No. We are the employer in India, so you do not need your own entity. We do not offer payroll only for companies that already have an Indian entity. We offer employer of record.

What happens when someone leaves?

We handle the notice period, the final pay and the full and final settlement, and we issue the right letters. You tell us the last working day, and we take it from there.

Flexible by design

Every team is different. We plan around yours.
