Why Mumbai employers work with TMS
Nowhere in India moves faster than Mumbai, and speed is where HR usually breaks. A BKC bank scaling analysts, an Andheri media house cycling project staff, and a Bhiwandi-adjacent logistics operation running contract crews all sit within one metro and one set of Maharashtra rules. TMS has run payroll and compliance across that whole spread since 2006, so growth never outruns your statutory filing.
Getting Maharashtra compliance right takes local knowledge, not a template lifted from another state. Professional Tax slabs, half-yearly Labour Welfare Fund dues and Shops and Establishments registration each follow their own logic here, layered over central PF, ESI and TDS. We are headquartered in Mumbai, so audits, onboarding and issue resolution happen without delay, and one team owns the whole cycle.
HR Compliance Landscape in Mumbai and Maharashtra
Mumbai sits in Maharashtra, one of India’s most industrialised states, so employers here carry a fuller statutory load than most, spanning the state Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and Shops and Establishments regimes on top of central law.
Maharashtra Compliance Requirements
Employers in Mumbai must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975 is deducted monthly: nil up to Rs 7,500, Rs 175 for Rs 7,501 to Rs 10,000, and Rs 200 above Rs 10,000, rising to Rs 300 in February. Women earning up to Rs 25,000 a month are exempt, and the annual cap is Rs 2,500.
- Labour Welfare Fund under the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953 is Rs 25 from the employee and Rs 75 from the employer, Rs 100 in total, paid half-yearly in June and December.
- Shops and Establishments registration falls under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017 for commercial workplaces across the MMR.
- Minimum Wages follow the Maharashtra government’s scheduled rates by industry, skill and zone, revised periodically, so pay for contract and shopfloor roles must track the current notification.
- Contract Labour engagement brings licensing, registration and principal-employer duties under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act as applied by the Maharashtra rules.
- Central laws apply alongside the state rules: PF, ESIC, TDS, POSH and the four Labour Codes, handled as part of one compliance mandate.
Maharashtra Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund at a glance
At a glance, here is how the Maharashtra Professional Tax slab works for monthly salary deductions.
- Up to Rs 7,500 a month: Nil
- Rs 7,501 to Rs 10,000 a month: Rs 175
- Above Rs 10,000 a month: Rs 200 (Rs 300 in February)
- Women up to Rs 25,000 a month: Exempt
Annual Professional Tax is capped at Rs 2,500. Under the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953, contributions are Rs 25 (employee) and Rs 75 (employer), Rs 100 in total per employee, paid half-yearly in June and December.
Figures are current as of 2026; statutory rates are revised periodically, so confirm the latest Maharashtra notification before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Services in Mumbai

Employers deduct it monthly: nil up to Rs 7,500 a month, Rs 175 between Rs 7,501 and Rs 10,000, and Rs 200 above Rs 10,000, rising to Rs 300 in February.

Registration under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975 is mandatory within 30 days of hiring your first employee.
How does contract staffing work in Mumbai’s BFSI sector?
Mumbai’s banking and financial services sector relies heavily on contract staffing for data, customer support and back-office roles. Under our model, TMS becomes the legal employer, handles PF, ESIC, PT and LWF deductions, and keeps you compliant with central labour law and Maharashtra rules including the Shops and Establishments Act.
Can a foreign company hire in Mumbai without setting up an entity?
Yes. Through our Employer of Record service, TMS employs your Mumbai team on its own legal entity while you direct their day-to-day work. We handle payroll, PF, ESIC, professional tax, TDS and statutory filings, so you can build a compliant team here without incorporating a local company.
What is the Labour Welfare Fund contribution in Maharashtra?
Under the Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953, contributions are Rs 25 from the employee and Rs 75 from the employer, Rs 100 in total per employee, paid half-yearly in the June and December cycles. TMS calculates, deducts and remits it alongside your other statutory dues.
