Payroll Services in Rajkot

Typical rates are ₹50 to ₹200 per employee per month, falling with headcount, plus a minimum monthly charge for teams under about 25 people. One-off setup fees of ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 are common, and 18% GST applies.

Standard scope includes monthly PF ECR and ESIC contribution filing, professional tax where the state levies it, quarterly Form 24Q for TDS on salaries and annual Form 16. Labour Welfare Fund and multi-state professional tax are often priced as extras.

Both PF and ESIC contributions must be deposited by the 15th of the following month. Late PF deposits attract interest under Section 7Q and damages under Section 14B, so confirm the provider’s monthly cut-off leaves enough time before the due date.

CNC operators and programmers, certified welders, tool and die makers and quality inspectors are in short supply relative to demand from the engineering clusters. Staffing partners source from ITIs across Saurashtra and from other states, and many units run apprenticeship programmes to build supply.

Payroll outsourcing for 20 to 200 employees typically costs ₹2,500 to ₹15,000 per month, and PF and ESIC consulting ₹1,500 to ₹8,000 monthly. First-time registrations, factory licence applications and record regularisation are usually quoted as one-off fees.

PF becomes mandatory at 20 employees including contract workers, and ESIC at 10 employees for staff earning up to ₹21,000 a month, as ESIC is implemented across Rajkot district. A factory using power with 10 or more workers also needs a licence under the Factories Act.
