What to Consider When Hiring Employees in India?
Employment Law
India has a complex framework of labour laws at both the central and state levels, designed to protect employees’ rights and ensure fair treatment.
In India, there isn't a national minimum wage. Instead, each state and union territory has the power to set its own minimum wage rates, which can vary widely depending on the region. These rates also include a dearness allowance, which adjusts for the cost of living. The allowance is updated twice a year—on April 1 and October 1—to reflect changes in living expenses.
Additionally, most state laws in India require either a one-month written notice for termination or the option to pay salary in lieu of notice.
Benefits
Offering competitive employee benefits is crucial in attracting top talent, and certain benefits are mandatory under Indian law. The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement savings plan mandatory for employees earning below a specified threshold, with contributions from both employers and employees. Similarly, the Employee State Insurance (ESI) is a healthcare insurance scheme applicable to employees earning below a certain salary level.
Tax
Employers are responsible for deducting tax at source (TDS) from employee salaries and remitting it to the Income Tax Department. India follows a progressive tax structure, where tax rates increase with income. Employers are also required to provide employees with a Form 16, which details their TDS deductions for the financial year. This is crucial for employees when filing their individual income tax returns.
