Payroll compliance in India: PF, ESI, PT, TDS and Shops explained

Indian payroll needs accurate monthly processing plus statutory coverage across PF, ESI, PT, TDS, and Shops & Establishments obligations.

10 July 2026

Payroll compliance in India means more than salary processing. A growing company needs payroll calendars, monthly inputs, joiner-mover-leaver handling, reimbursements, statutory calculations, filings, employee queries, reconciliation, and management reporting.

LightSapien supports payroll operations with coverage for Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance, Professional Tax, TDS, and Shops & Establishments compliance. The service is built for small and growing companies that need payroll off their internal teams without losing visibility.

A clean payroll handover starts with employee masters, salary structures, statutory registrations, reimbursement policies, leave and attendance inputs, cut-off dates, and reporting expectations. Once those are mapped, the recurring cycle can run with clearer owners and fewer surprises.
