Can We Handle Indian Payroll from Abroad? Seeking Your Insights and Experiences

I would really appreciate your kind assistance and feedback on whether we can process the staff payroll in India from another country. The reason for this is that our payroll team is centralized in one country, and we don't have any payroll staff in India.

Looking forward to your kind feedback on this.

Yes, you can process it from another country. It is perfectly fine, but sometimes it can be a costly affair.

Your company's payroll is processed outside of the country, so you need to check some of the important aspects. The applicability of Acts such as the ESIC (if any employee falls under the ESIC Act), the PF Act, and other statutory acts need to be checked.

Dear Maytan,

It's not important whether the payroll is processed in India or abroad. You need to ensure that you are complying with all statutory norms and regulations set by the country where you are employed, and the salary can be paid from anywhere.

This practice is also followed by our company, and we are governed by the rules of the land; we are bound to comply.

Shaikh
