How it works

From first call to monthly autopilot

A 15-minute review of your PF, ESIC and S&E status. You get a gap report with penalty risk and a fixed retainer quote — no obligation.

STEP 02

Setup & clean-up

We fix registrations, correct past gaps, and bring your records to audit-clean. One handover, then we take it off your plate.

Every filing before its date. Challans land on WhatsApp, notices are handled, and you have a dedicated SPOC who actually picks up.

FAQ

Questions founders ask first

Do I need PF and ESIC if I have fewer than 20 employees?

EPF generally becomes mandatory at 20 employees, while ESI applies from 10 (for wages up to ₹21,000) — and many companies register voluntarily earlier. We assess your exact headcount, wages and state in the free audit and tell you what actually applies, instead of guessing.

What compliance applies to my specific industry?

Beyond the baseline (PF, ESI, S&E, PT, wages, POSH, Labour Codes), each sector adds its own — IT/ITeS has night-shift and STPI/SEZ rules, retail has store-wise S&E and Standing Orders, e-commerce has gig-worker and warehouse obligations. See the "Compliance by industry" section above, and we map your full set in the audit.

What happens if I've missed past filings?

We map the gaps, estimate penalty exposure, and handle the clean-up and any notice responses. The audit gives you a clear picture before you commit — including what setup and back-filing will cost.

Do you work outside Delhi NCR?

Yes. On-ground support is strongest in Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram, but PF, ESI, PT and payroll are handled Pan-India remotely. Multi-state and 300+ employee teams get a dedicated payroll professional on-site.
