Payroll Outsourcing in Hyderabad, on Telangana's Terms

Telangana gives Hyderabad payroll its own signature: professional tax due by the 10th of the month, earlier than most states, on slabs of nil up to ₹15,000, ₹150 to ₹20,000 and ₹200 above (as of September 2026), a five-year PT exemption window for newly registered enterprises, a labour welfare fund of only about ₹7 a year per employee, and shops and establishments approvals that are deemed granted through the state's single-window systems. We run the whole Telangana stack, with TDS, PF and ESIC, for teams employed on our Indian entity.

Telangana PT falls due by the 10th on its own slabs, new firms get a five-year exemption, and approvals are deemed granted. We run Hyderabad payroll end to end on our entity.

Six Telangana-specific items that separate Hyderabad payroll from the generic India playbook.

Telangana stack on you

Telangana stack on us

Professional tax deadline
Telangana wants PT by the 10th, five days before the PF date, a sequencing detail that catches desks trained on other states.
Our challan sequence for Hyderabad is built around the earlier date.
PT slabs and exemptions
You apply nil, ₹150 and ₹200 bands correctly and work out whether the five-year new-enterprise PTIN exemption covers you.
Slabs are templated and exemption eligibility is assessed once, properly, at setup.
Labour welfare fund
Around ₹7 per employee per year is easy to overlook precisely because it is small.
The annual remittance is a standing entry nobody has to remember.
Shops and establishments
Telangana's LabourOne and single-window regime grants deemed approvals fast, but the application is still yours to file right.
Our registration stands already; a Hyderabad hire adds a line, not a project.
Central obligations
TDS by the 7th and PF and ESIC by the 15th continue monthly against your codes.
They continue against ours, with every receipt forwarded.
Price of a lapse
12% annual interest plus damages to 25% of the arrears, invoiced to your company by name.
The name on the registration is Foo Falcon Technologies, so the invoice is ours.

Under our employment model the registrations behind those dates are ours, which moves the entire penalty surface off your company.

Telangana's five-year professional tax exemption for newly established enterprises is real money that unclaimed setups quietly forfeit. We evaluate eligibility at onboarding and structure accordingly.

Fast-approval state, faster desk.

With deemed approvals through LabourOne and the single-window system, Telangana removes bureaucratic drag. Our five-day offer-to-payroll onboarding is built to match that pace.

Hyderabad payroll questions, answered with Telangana precision.

Eight questions we hear from employers building Hyderabad teams, including the early PT date and the exemption window.

What are Telangana's professional tax slabs?

As of September 2026: nil for monthly salaries up to ₹15,000, ₹150 for ₹15,001 to ₹20,000, and ₹200 above ₹20,000, with remittance due by the 10th of the month. That date runs five days ahead of the PF deadline, which is why we front-load the Hyderabad computation cycle.

Is there really a professional tax exemption for new companies?

Telangana offers newly established enterprises a five-year exemption window tied to their PTIN registration. Whether it applies depends on how and when the enterprise registered; we assess eligibility during onboarding rather than leaving the relief unclaimed.

How large is Telangana's labour welfare fund contribution?

Roughly ₹7 per employee per year including the employer share, among the smallest in India. Its size is exactly why it gets missed; ours goes out as a standing annual remittance for every employed head.

What about shops and establishments compliance in Hyderabad?

Telangana processes registrations through LabourOne and its single-window system with deemed approvals, so the state is fast. Under our model the registration is ours and already in force, so your hires require no application at all.

Which deadlines shape a Hyderabad payroll month?

Telangana PT by the 10th, TDS by the 7th, and PF and ESIC by the 15th. Anything late accrues 12% annual interest plus damages up to 25%, and on our model that exposure attaches to our registrations rather than yours.

Can we employ Hyderabad staff without an Indian entity?

Yes. Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd employs them, runs the Telangana sequence on its own registrations and bills you once monthly in USD, while day-to-day direction of the team stays completely with you.

How quickly does a Hyderabad hire reach live payroll?

Five working days from signed offer. With recruitment added, shortlists arrive within nine days and the 12% CTC fee for junior and mid-level roles is invoiced only at day ninety.

When would we advise against outsourcing Hyderabad payroll?

A Telangana-registered entity with an experienced finance desk may only need a processor. Sub-three-month engagements suit contractor terms better. And past forty to fifty stable employees, an in-house desk on your own entity typically wins. We surface that crossover before you ask.
