Payroll and HR services in Bangalore

True HR runs payroll and HR for Bangalore companies: monthly salary processing, PF (Provident Fund), ESI (Employees' State Insurance), PT (Professional Tax) and TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) filings, hiring at a flat 5% of CTC (Cost to Company), and lawyer-reviewed policies. Salaries credit on the 1st. Every filing goes in before its due date.

Bangalore runs more technology payrolls than any other Indian city. Global capability centres line the Outer Ring Road, product startups fill Koramangala, HSR and Indiranagar, and services majors anchor Whitefield and Electronic City. That density creates payroll problems of scale: engineering salaries far above the PF wage ceiling, ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan) grants and notice-period buyouts in a market where attrition routinely crosses 20 percent, and contract staff who pull CLRA (Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act) duties into your calendar. Karnataka's enforcement is digitised: PF, ESI, PT and TDS data are cross-matched across departments, so a gap in one filing surfaces through another within months. Growing companies here typically add a second state by year three, which is exactly when a patchwork of local vendors starts to crack. We run Bangalore payroll with the statute book open and the calendar locked.

Local compliance

What does Karnataka require from a Bangalore payroll?

Rates updated for FY 2026-27

Professional Tax in Karnataka

Karnataka levies PT at ₹200 a month where monthly salary is ₹25,000 or more, with ₹300 in February to make ₹2,500 a year, and nil below that. The employer deducts it from salary and remits it monthly against the company's PT registration. Miss a month and interest and penalty accrue on the shortfall, so it sits on the same locked calendar as PF and TDS in our runs.

Labour Welfare Fund in Karnataka

The Karnataka LWF (Labour Welfare Fund) contribution is ₹50 from the employee and ₹100 from the employer per year, deducted in December and paid by 15 January. It is small enough to forget and visible enough to be flagged in an inspection, which is why we keep it on the same compliance tracker as the monthly filings.

Shops and Establishments registration

Every Bangalore office needs registration under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act 1961, with appointment orders issued, leave records maintained and registers kept in the prescribed formats. We obtain the registration for each establishment, keep it renewed and hold the registers inspection-ready.

Frequently asked questions

What does payroll outsourcing cost in Bangalore?

Plans start at ₹25,000 per month for up to 50 employees on Payroll Core and ₹40,000 on HR Complete, as a fixed monthly retainer with no per-employee charges. Hiring is a flat 5% of CTC per closed position. You get a firm, slab-wise quote within two working days of a scoping call.

Which statutory registrations does a Bangalore company need?

Most companies need PF and ESI registration once headcount thresholds are crossed, Karnataka PT registration, LWF registration, and registration under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act 1961 for each office. Salary TDS obligations apply from the first salaried employee. We audit your registrations during onboarding and fix the gaps.

Can True HR take over an existing Bangalore payroll mid-year?

Yes. We migrate your employee master, salary structures, investment declarations and year-to-date figures, run one parallel cycle to reconcile against your previous setup, and go live from the next month. Past filing gaps are listed with amounts due so you can regularise them before they surface in a notice.
