You own the Indian entity. We run the payroll.

Pvt Ltd incorporated, GST registered, PF establishment code under your entity. You want payroll outsourced but keep the legal employer relationship under your own brand.

You're scaling past 10 employees

Manual payroll via your CA breaks at 10+ hires. State-specific filings, multi-city Profession Tax, ESIC threshold changes mid-year. Managed Payroll handles all of it.

You want one named compliance lead

Not a help desk. Not a ticket queue. A real HRBP / payroll specialist who knows your team and answers email in 4-6 hours.

You're prepping for fundraising diligence

How Managed Payroll works

Step 1

Onboarding (2 weeks)

We collect employee master data, current payroll structure, statutory registrations (PF code, ESIC code, GST). Map your GL accounts to our accrual report format.

Step 2

Monthly payroll run

By the 27th of each month, payroll is calculated, reviewed, and ready. By the 1st, salaries are credited. By the 7th, all statutory filings done.

Step 3

Quarterly + annual filings

TDS quarterly returns (24Q). Form 16 issued annually. Gratuity actuarial valuation. Bonus calculations. New Labour Code compliance audits.

Step 4

Audit + diligence support

Year-end audit packet: signed Form 16s, ECR returns, ESIC challans, gratuity provisioning report. Investor diligence packets in 48 hours.

One vendor for the whole India operation.

EOR is the contract layer. The other seven things that make India hiring work are also on our books. One MSA, one invoice, one accountable entity.

Legal employment

Offer letter, PF UAN, ESIC IP all under Foo Falcon's PAN. Your hire is on our books, not a partner's.

Recruitment

Sourcing, screening, interviews. $99/position, $1,199/mo dedicated recruiter, or contingent on placement.

Employee insurance

Group health (₹5L floater, family), accident, term life. Day-1 coverage, no waiting period, no separate vendor.

Devices & equipment

Laptop, monitor, peripherals. Locally procured, delivered before Day 1. Pass-through cost, no markup.

Onboarding

Welcome call, document collection, policy walkthrough, first-paycheck schedule. Five-day SLA. Three-day fastest.

Payroll & statutory

Monthly run, PF + ESIC + PT + TDS, Form 16, gratuity. Eight statutory items on every payslip.

Compliance & audits

EPFO + ESIC inspections, Section 7A inquiries, audit-ready records. Inspectors come to us, not you.

Offboarding

Notice, F&F, gratuity, asset recovery, experience letter, UAN continuity. Clean exit, every time.

What we hold ourselves to.

Four operational benchmarks, refreshed monthly. These are not aspirations. They are the floor.

100% On-time payroll, every cycle, every employee
Zero Notices issued by any statutory authority since founding
<4hr Reply time from your named compliance lead, IST business hours
One Consolidated USD invoice per employee per month

Real teams, real numbers.

Three engagements that show how this works in practice. Different ICPs, different scales, same EOR mechanics.

Verify the entity. Three clicks each.

Most India EORs do not publish their CIN, their GSTIN, or their ESI code. We do, plus the Udyam registration, the PAN, the TAN, and the actual government-issued certificates as PDFs. Click any of them to verify the entity is real, current, and active on the official Government of India portals.

Live government registers
Source documents on file

Most "EORs" pass through to a third-party Indian entity you never see. We are the entity. The CIN, GSTIN, ESI code, and Udyam registration above are all on the contract counterparty of every offer letter we issue.

"Switching EOR is supposed to be the worst quarter of the year. Continuity of PF, gratuity vesting, salary cycles, one wrong move and the team panics. Migration finished inside one payroll cycle. Zero disruption. The team did not even notice the swap."

"Our India design GCC was supposed to take a quarter to spin up. Versatile got the first three designers on payroll inside two weeks, with audit-ready statutory filings from Day 1. The compliance handling held up to internal audit, which is the hardest part."

Same India operation. Different angle.

If you found this page useful, these are the next ones to read.

A short letter. Founder to founder.

Dear founder,

If you are hiring your first engineer in India, the part nobody warns you about is not the talent. It is the eight statutory filings, the New Labour Code rebase, and the EPFO inspection notice that arrives in month three.

Versatile exists so a US founder can hire in India the way they hire in California. Sign a contract on Monday. Have a payslip on the first. Get a USD invoice that an auditor can read. Our compliance team owns every step.

If that is the kind of partner you want, our team email is on every contract: [email protected]. Write to us before you sign. We reply in 4-6 hours.

Questions we hear most.

How is Managed Payroll different from EOR?

With EOR, Versatile is the legal employer (your hire is on Foo Falcon's books). With Managed Payroll, you own the Indian entity (your hire is on YOUR books); we just run payroll + statutory filings + audit support. Same compliance depth, different legal employer.

Yes. This is the standard EOR-to-entity migration path. We transfer UAN, ESIC IP, gratuity vesting records to your entity, then run payroll under your PF code. Continuous service preserved.

Monthly payroll run, PF + ESIC + Profession Tax + TDS deductions and filings, Form 16 annually, gratuity provisioning, statutory liability accrual report mapped to your GL, named HRBP, year-end audit packet. Sliding scale: $49 at the floor for 25+ employees, higher tier for smaller teams.

Yes. On 48-hour turnaround we deliver: signed Form 16s for each India employee, ECR (PF) filings, ESIC challans, gratuity actuarial valuation, quarterly TDS returns, statutory liability accruals. Same diligence packet shape Wisemonk-class enterprises receive from us.

Hire in India. Without the panic.

Tell me about your first hire. I will reply on email inside 4-6 hours, with a draft offer letter attached. Then my support team takes the depth.
