India’s talent market is booming, but hiring here without understanding the legal landscape can be complex and costly. With Provident Fund contributions, TDS obligations, state-specific Professional Tax rules, and the four consolidated Labor Codes, employment compliance in India requires careful management.
An employer of record in India removes these challenges entirely. The EOR becomes the legal employer on paper, managing contracts, payroll, and statutory filings — while you retain full control over your employees’ work and direction.
Helixbeat’s employer of record services in India are designed for businesses that want to hire quickly, remain compliant, and avoid the months-long delays of setting up a local entity. We onboard your India-based employees in 1–2 weeks, fully compliant from Day 1.
What Does an Employer of Record Company in India Actually Do?
When Helixbeat acts as your employer of record company in India, we take on full legal employer responsibility, including:
- Drafting and executing employment contracts compliant with Indian labor laws
- Enrolling employees in PF and ESI schemes
- Calculating and remitting TDS
- Managing Professional Tax obligations by state
- Processing monthly payroll in INR
- Handling all statutory filings
You manage your employees’ daily work — we handle all compliance, filings, and payroll. Unlike staffing agencies, Helixbeat is the legal employer, so all regulatory responsibility sits with us, not your business.
