India payroll for global companies with an Indian entity
If you run teams in several countries, India is usually the one that behaves differently. PF, ESI, TDS and Professional Tax have no equivalent elsewhere, and a global payroll provider often handles them thinly.

The deadlines do not move. The penalties compound.
PF, ESI, TDS and Professional Tax have no equivalent in your other markets. The India module is usually the thinnest one you own, and the one with deadlines on the 7th and the 15th.
- 7th
- TDS on salary deposited
- Miss it: 1.5% a month, plus ₹200 a day under 234E
- 15th
- PF and ESI contributions paid
- Miss it: 12% a year interest, damages up to 25%
- 15 Jun
- Form 16 issued to every employee
- Miss it: ₹100 a day per certificate, up to the tax due
INDPayroll applies every one of these on the run itself, and refreshes the thresholds the month the government moves them. Work out what a past delay already costs you

Where global payroll stops working in India
India is the exception in your stack
Statutory schemes here have no counterpart in other markets, so a global tool tends to bolt them on rather than model them.
India compliance handled properly
PF, ESI, TDS and PT are computed natively and refreshed monthly, with government-ready ECR and ESI files produced.
Local filings still land on someone local
ECR uploads, ESI returns and Form 16 issuance stay with the India team whatever the global contract says.
Filing-ready output
Form 16, PF forms 3A/6A/12A and ESI returns are generated for the India entity rather than assembled by hand.
HQ wants figures in its own shape
Group finance needs the India wage bill in a format that reconciles with everything else.
Exports that reconcile
Excel and PDF exports plus scheduled reports give HQ the India numbers on a predictable cadence.
Asked by teams like yours
Your next payroll run is due on the 15th either way.
Free forever for your first 10 employees. No credit card, no setup fee, and no sales call to see a price. If it does not fit, you have lost an afternoon.
