How to Handle PT Payments and Form U Filing for Remote Employees in Bangalore and Pune?

I am an Accounts and HR Manager of XXX Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which is involved in Software Development and Recruiting services. Our principal employer is situated in Bangalore, but we don't have any branches elsewhere except in Hyderabad, which is the registered place of business. We employ people from Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Pune. We recruit them online and send them to locations, though we don't have any branches in Bangalore and Pune.

My questions are:

1. Do we need to pay PT for our employees located in Bangalore and Pune to their respective state governments? If yes, please tell me the procedure for the same without having branch offices in the relevant states.

2. Are we required to file Form U under Karnataka labour laws? If yes, please tell me the procedure for uploading the same.

Deputation on Demand and Professional Tax Compliance

If the company maintains its salary register in Hyderabad only, then the person going to various places would be treated as "deputation on demand," employed in Hyderabad but visiting all over India as the company needs.

Manpower on Monthly Hire Basis

If you provide "manpower" on a monthly hire basis, you can ask the principal to maintain this formality at their end. Otherwise, you have to establish state-wise branch offices for professional tax as well as GST payments.

As the invoices are issued from the Hyderabad office only, professional tax is applicable as per the rules of Telangana state.
