India Business Setup

Employer of Record (EOR) — Hire in India Without an Entity

Hire your first employees in India through our EOR platform while you decide on, or wait to set up, your own legal entity.

If you need to hire in India quickly — before committing to full incorporation — an Employer of Record lets us legally employ your team on your behalf, while you manage their day-to-day work.

It's the fastest way to get compliant boots on the ground in India, and transitions smoothly into your own subsidiary once you're ready to scale.

What's Included

  • Compliant employment contracts under Indian labour law
  • Monthly payroll processing and salary disbursement
  • Provident Fund (PF) and ESIC contributions
  • Income tax (TDS) deduction and salary structuring
  • Employee onboarding and offboarding support
  • Smooth transition to your own entity when you're ready

Who This Is For

  • Foreign companies hiring their first 1–5 employees in India
  • Businesses testing India as a hiring hub before committing
  • Companies replacing informal contractor arrangements with compliant employment
  • Teams that need to be operational within days, not months

Documents Required

  • Employee details — Offer terms, compensation structure and role details for each hire
  • Company authorisation — Letter authorising Fiscal Ease to act as Employer of Record
  • Employee KYC — PAN, Aadhaar and bank details of each employee, collected during onboarding

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can someone start working?

Once documentation is complete, employees can typically be onboarded within 3–5 working days.

Who is legally the employer?

Fiscal Ease Consulting (or our EOR partner) is the legal employer of record, while you direct the employee's day-to-day work as the client company.

Can we convert to our own entity later?

Yes — this is a very common path. We'll help you incorporate your own subsidiary and transition employees over with no disruption.
