Why Kolkata Businesses Outsource Payroll
West Bengal has distinct payroll compliance requirements, including its own PT structure, LWF obligations, and state-specific Shops and Establishments provisions. Organisations managing these in-house often face errors and delays. TMS eliminates both by taking full ownership of the payroll function.
Kolkata’s business ecosystem spans trading houses in Burrabazar, IT companies in Salt Lake Sector V, healthcare networks across the city, and heavy manufacturing along the Howrah-Garden Reach corridor. Each segment has distinct payroll structures, and the compliance requirements differ between commercial establishments and factories.
Outsourcing to TMS means all these payroll types are managed by specialists. Your HR team focuses on talent and culture. Your finance team gets clean data. And your organisation stays compliant without the administrative strain.

Frequently Asked Questions: Payroll Outsourcing in Kolkata
How does TMS manage West Bengal Professional Tax for Kolkata employees?
West Bengal PT is levied at ₹200 per month for employees earning above ₹10,000 per month. TMS deducts this from the employee’s monthly salary, deposits the total PT collected with the West Bengal PT Directorate by the due date, and files the annual PT return. Clients receive a copy of the PT challan each month as part of the compliance dashboard. TMS also manages the employer’s PT enrolment certificate renewal, which is required annually.
Can TMS handle payroll for manufacturing companies in Howrah under the West Bengal Factories Act?
Yes. TMS has experience processing factory worker payroll in Howrah under the West Bengal Factories Act. We compute regular wages, overtime at the prescribed double rate, welfare deductions, and any piece-rate incentives as specified in the employment terms. The monthly wage register (Form 19), overtime register (Form 20), and annual leave register (Form 21) are maintained by TMS as part of the payroll service for Factories Act clients.
Does TMS process payroll for Kolkata BPO companies with night shift employees?
Yes. BPO payroll in Kolkata involves shift differential allowances, transport allowances, and night shift meal allowances, all of which have specific tax treatment under the Income Tax Act. TMS processes shift-based payroll for BPO clients with complete accuracy, applying the correct taxability to each allowance component. For female employees working night shifts, TMS ensures the client is aware of the transport and safety obligations under the West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act.
How does TMS compute and manage gratuity for Kolkata employees?
Gratuity is payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 to employees completing 5 or more years of continuous service. TMS tracks service tenure for all employees on the payroll and flags employees approaching the 5-year mark for client awareness. At the time of separation, TMS computes the gratuity amount (15 days’ last drawn salary per completed year of service, subject to the statutory ceiling), reflects it in the full and final settlement, and assists the client in processing the payment within the 30-day statutory period.
What is the process for a Kolkata company to switch to TMS for payroll outsourcing?
The migration process begins with a discovery phase where TMS collects your current payroll setup, employee master data, PF/ESIC registration details, TDS workings, and statutory compliance history. After data validation and system configuration, TMS runs a parallel payroll for the first month alongside the existing system. Once the output is verified to match accurately, TMS takes over as the sole payroll processor from the following month. The typical migration timeline is 4 to 6 weeks with zero disruption to employee salary payments.
