An HR audit examines whether an organisation’s people practices, records and statutory obligations are in order, and is commissioned before a funding round, acquisition, expansion into new states or after a period of fast growth. Scope usually covers statutory compliance across PF, ESIC, gratuity, bonus, minimum wages and POSH, employment contract quality, personnel file completeness, policy adequacy, payroll accuracy and sometimes structure and manning levels. Firms charge a fixed fee based on headcount and locations, with ₹50,000 to ₹5 lakh being a common range for companies of 50 to 1,000 employees, plus separate fees for remediation. Ask for a sample report, the checklist of acts covered and whether findings are ranked by risk and financial exposure.
Auditors on this page display a minimum project value, a fee band and a focus bar showing how much of their practice is audit and due diligence rather than operational HR. Reviews from CFOs, investors and HR heads describe the depth of the report and whether it held up during investor or acquirer scrutiny.
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on basic pay alone contrary to the Supreme Court’s 2019 ruling, missing POSH committees and annual reports, unsigned or outdated appointment letters, unpaid statutory bonus, gratuity not provisioned, and contract labour engaged without a valid licence.
