HR audit in Gandhinagar

For a single-location company of up to 200 employees, a statutory and documentation audit generally costs ₹50,000 to ₹1.5 lakh. Multi-state operations, factory establishments and contract labour reviews increase both scope and fee. Remediation work is usually quoted separately.

Fieldwork of one to three weeks is typical, covering document review, sample payroll testing and interviews, followed by a week or two of reporting. Larger organisations with multiple plants may need four to eight weeks. Timely access to records is the biggest variable.

Frequent issues include PF wages calculated on basic pay alone contrary to the Supreme Court’s 2019 ruling, missing POSH committees and annual reports, unsigned or outdated appointment letters, unpaid statutory bonus, gratuity not provisioned, and contract labour engaged without a valid licence.

Recruitment of banking, capital markets, fund administration and compliance professionals, often with international experience; executive search for unit heads; payroll and benefits for staff sometimes on foreign-currency salaries; and HR policies aligned with IFSCA regulatory expectations on conduct and fit-and-proper standards.

Yes. GIFT City is a special economic zone and international financial services centre, but central and Gujarat labour laws, including PF, ESIC, gratuity, POSH and the Shops and Establishments Act, apply to employees working there. SEZ authorities administer some approvals and registrations.

IIT Gandhinagar, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, National Institute of Fashion Technology, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, National Institute of Design and Gujarat National Law University are the main sources, alongside engineering colleges across the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar corridor.
