Employer of Record (EOR) Services in India: Hire Without Entity Setup
In today’s hyper-connected world, businesses no longer see geographical boundaries as limitations when it comes to hiring the best talent. Countries like India, with their vast pool of skilled professionals in technology, operations, design, research, and customer service, have become preferred destinations for global companies looking to scale teams efficiently.
But there’s a challenge: hiring in a new country often requires setting up a local entity, navigating complex labor laws, and ensuring compliance with payroll, taxes, and benefits. This process can be time-consuming, expensive, and overwhelming for companies that want to move fast.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
Think of it as a simple bridge: you manage the what (day-to-day tasks, goals, and outcomes), and Yugasa manages the how (legal employment, compliance, payroll, and HR formalities).
With an EOR, you don’t need to establish a subsidiary, register with tax authorities, or figure out the intricacies of labor law. You focus on growing your business while we handle the red tape.
Why Yugasa for EOR in India?
India has become the world’s talent hub, especially for IT, engineering, research, and back-office operations. But employing people here involves compliance with dozens of regulations like Provident Fund (PF), Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Gratuity, TDS (tax deduction at source), Maternity Act, Bonus Act, and more.
For a company sitting in the US, UK, or Australia, staying compliant without local expertise is daunting. Yugasa solves this problem with a transparent, compliant, and employee-friendly EOR model.
Here’s how we make global hiring in India frictionless:
The Complete Employment Lifecycle — Managed for You
At Yugasa, we handle every aspect of the employment journey while ensuring you stay in control of decision-making.
1. Offer Letter & Appointment Documentation
We draft legally compliant offer letters and appointment contracts aligned with Indian employment laws. These documents cover important clauses around salary, benefits, working hours, and termination conditions while also safeguarding your business interests through confidentiality and IP protection terms.
2. Salary & Benefits Administration
Indian labor laws are complex and vary depending on state and industry. From PF and ESIC contributions to professional tax and gratuity, non-compliance can lead to penalties. Yugasa ensures full compliance, relieving you from the burden of monitoring ever-changing rules.
3. Background Verification
Trust and integrity are critical. We conduct thorough background checks-verifying education, employment history, and criminal records-to ensure the talent you hire meets the highest standards.
4. IP Protection & Confidentiality Management
When working with offshore teams, one of the biggest concerns for global businesses is the security of their intellectual property (IP). At Yugasa, we implement robust IP protection agreements and confidentiality clauses, ensuring your business data and IP are safeguarded at all times.
5. Exit Formalities & Final Settlements
Employee exits can be tricky if not handled carefully. We manage resignations, exit interviews, notice periods, and full & final settlements (including gratuity, encashments, and relieving letters), ensuring a smooth and compliant transition.
6. Monthly Compliance Reporting
Transparency is at the core of our services. We provide detailed compliance reports every month covering payroll, taxes, contributions, and benefits so that you have full visibility into what’s happening on the ground.
