These five services cover most of what Lucknow employers come to us for, and you can take any one on its own or hand over the wider HR function.
Payroll Outsourcing
Learn moreWe run monthly payroll for your Lucknow team, handling salary processing, PF, ESI and TDS deductions, payslips and statutory filings. The setup works equally for salaried Gomti Nagar office staff and variable manufacturing wages in Amausi or Chinhat.
Contract Staffing
Learn moreFor manufacturing units around Amausi and Chinhat, we manage contract and shopfloor workers under the Contract Labour rules, covering onboarding, wage registers, muster rolls and returns, so the principal employer stays compliant.
Employer of Record
Learn moreIf your company has no Indian entity and wants to hire in Lucknow, we act as the employer of record. The staff sit on our books while you manage their work. It is a practical route for firms building a Lucknow presence before registering their own company.
GCC Setup
Learn moreAs back-office and capability teams grow around Gomti Nagar, we support them with payroll, benefits administration and compliance, keeping the India unit clean while your leadership stays focused on delivery.
Statutory Compliance
Learn moreWe own statutory compliance in full: Shops Act registration, minimum wage revisions, PF and ESI filings, POSH, and returns under the four Labour Codes. One team holds the paperwork instead of you coordinating several consultants.
Why Lucknow employers choose TMS
The city has two payroll personalities. Vibhuti Khand and Sushant Golf City fill up with salaried IT, BPO and corporate staff on fixed cycles, while Amausi and Chinhat run manufacturing units with shopfloor wages and attendance to track. We set up your payroll for the mix you employ, so a services firm and a factory are not squeezed into the same process.
Uttar Pradesh keeps the state statutory burden low. There is no Professional Tax and no state Labour Welfare Fund for private commercial establishments, which leaves Shops Act registration, minimum wages, and the central obligations of PF, ESI and TDS as the recurring work. We handle that setup and keep the filings current, which is useful when a Gomti Nagar BPO or a healthcare group grows its headcount through the year.
HR Compliance Landscape in Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh
Compliance in Uttar Pradesh is lighter than employers often expect, so it helps to know what actually applies before you plan for it. There is no Professional Tax to deduct and no state Labour Welfare Fund for private commercial establishments. That leaves Shops Act registration, minimum wages, and the central heads that apply nationwide. Here is how the main obligations sit for a Lucknow employer.
Uttar Pradesh Compliance Requirements
Employers in Lucknow must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax: Uttar Pradesh does not levy Professional Tax, so there is no PT deduction or PT filing for staff employed in Lucknow or elsewhere in the state.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Uttar Pradesh does not operate a Labour Welfare Fund for private commercial establishments, so employers here deduct and pay no LWF contribution.
- Shops and Establishments: Commercial establishments register under the Uttar Pradesh Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1962 (Dukan Aur Vanijya Adhishthan Adhiniyam), which governs working hours, leave and records.
- Minimum Wages: Pay must meet the Uttar Pradesh minimum wage rates for the applicable category and skill level, revised from time to time by the state, and this covers both salaried and shopfloor staff.
- Contract Labour: When you engage contract workers, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) framework applies, including contractor licensing, wage registers and muster rolls.
- Central laws: PF, ESI, TDS, POSH and the four central Labour Codes apply over and above the state rules, and they account for most of the ongoing filing work in Lucknow.
Uttar Pradesh Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund at a glance
A short read on what a Lucknow employer has to carry. The state load is light, with no Professional Tax and no state Labour Welfare Fund, so the recurring items are Shops Act registration, minimum wages, and the central heads of PF, ESI and TDS.
- Professional Tax: not levied in Uttar Pradesh.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Uttar Pradesh does not operate a Labour Welfare Fund for commercial establishments.
Figures are current as of 2026; statutory rates are revised periodically, so confirm the latest Uttar Pradesh notification before filing.
